It needs a change or two.  In it's current form, it would break FS.

Here's a self-quote from an email with Korey a while back.
"I also realized this current patch would break FS mode, since the frontend 
signals instruction fetch page faults by creating a nop with a fault attached 
(this patch would just discard that nop).  So, checking for a fault would be 
required before discarding."

I'm frantically trying to finish a thesis (defending in August), so probably 
won't get to it for a bit even though its a minor change.
