You mean reusing the same multi trampoline for all IPs and regenerating
it with a bunch of cmp/jnz checks? There should be a better way to scale.
Maybe clone multi trampoline instead?
IPs[1-10] will point to multi.
IP[11] will point to a clone of multi that serves multi prog and
fentry/fexit progs specific for that IP.
