I don’t know how one patches a module in the middle of the module

override the jdk.vm.compiler module in the JDK. I don’t know what
that means for modules such as jdk.aot that depend on
jdk.vm.compiler. Maybe someone from the AOT or jigsaw team can help.
OK, thanks. I guess I could try to upgrade the copy of Graal that is
contained in HotSpot. I'll have a look.
--patch-module can be used to patch any module in the boot layer. So if
you are looking to override or add classes then --patch-module should work.
