Read the intel manual... it says not to use self-modifying code.  In order for
it to work the code cache has to be flushed, and that's slow.  We have to
support self-modifying code of course, but it needen't be fast --- if you use
self-modifying code in a performance-critical section in you're program, that's
a bug anyway.
