We have the jump-label stuff to do self modifying code ;-) The only
thing we need to be careful with is data-layout.

So I'm _hoping_ we can do all this without more CONFIG knobs, because
{PREEMPT*SMP*CGROUP^3*NUMA^2} is already entirely annoying to
build and run test, not to mention that distro builds will have no other
option than to enable everything anyhow.
