I've got a specific concern: I don't see vmalloc_exec() used in this
series anywhere. I also don't see any of the actual assembly that's
being generated, or the glue code that's calling into the generated
assembly.

I grepped around a bit in your git trees, but I also couldn't find it in
there. Any chance you could help a guy out and point us to some of the
specifics of this new, tiny JIT?

One more specific concern: This comment made me very uncomfortable and
it read to me very much like a personal attack, something which is
contrary to our code of conduct.
