Hi,
We've discussed a 'batch' mode here before, and we had patches in the past iirc, but they never quite reached a merge-able state. I think for this patch, we want to separate it in 2 - the text patching code that now takes a list, and the jump_label code consumer. Comments below.

I wonder if we should just set aside a page here so that we can avoid the allocation altogether. I think the size of the text_to_poke on x86_64 is 44 bytes, so that's 93 or so entries, which I think covers the use-case here. If we go over that limit, we would just do things in batches of 93. I just think its nice to avoid memory allocations here to avoid creating additional dependencies, although I'm not aware of any specific ones.

So this could be done in batches if there are more entries than PAGE_SIZE / sizeof(struct text_to_poke)
