Rewriting is dangerous if the guest is unaware of it. As soon as it is made aware of it, it might as well actually do it in the best way that suits it.

- clever compiler reuses code for constant pool
- guest patches itself (a la linux alternatives), surprised when it sees a different instruction - guest jits own kernel code (like Singularity), gets confused when it reads back something it didn't write
