Yeah, the problem with that one was that we patch a huge amount of code,
see the dump below.
The X86_FEATURE_REP_GOOD thing replaces a 172 bytes memset with the 42 byte
REP;STOSQ version and the X86_FEATURE_ERMS does the same with REP;STOSB.
The 172-42 bytes at the end got padded with 130 bytes worth of NOPs.
Now, I've changed those to do simple JMPs for now so that we're working
with much less bytes at patching time (5 and if we're lucky 2). The next
step would be to do what you suggest and simply CALL the respective
variants at the call sites directly.
