This is a really nice use of what we have, I guess we could simplify
things further, not having to create a struct machine, as we have just
one thread, and we're not interested in kernel addresses, so no need for
kmaps, etc.

But as-is it already looks better than what we were using :-)

I'll try testing it further and will probably switch to using it if
nobody voices any problem we haven't realised with such approach.
