One idea would be to have a structure of function pointers for each
CPU that gets runtime patched into the right places,
similar to how we do some of the MMU fixups.
Sounds good to me :-)
Except the indirect jump/call is almost certainly
never predicted - so will be slow.
What indirect jump? He said "runtime patched" :-)
Also, that "slow" is largely a myth.
