I'm not entirely sure this is right.. Because not only do we need the
whole fixmap stuff working, we also need #DB and the IPI handlers set-up
and working.
Also, why do this here and not override @poker in
__jump_label_transform() ?
And I added a sync_core() in text_poke_early(), which I think we need
for this.
