+// able to call the original function via a specially-made preamble-stub
+// that imitates the action of the original preamble.
+//
+// Note that there are a number of ways that this method of patching can
+// fail. The most common are:
+// - If there is a jump (jxx) instruction in the first 5 bytes of
+// the function being patched, we cannot patch it because in the
+// current implementation we do not know how to rewrite relative
+// jumps after relocating them to the preamble-stub. Note that
+// if you really really need to patch a function like this, it
+// would be possible to add this functionality (but at some cost).
+// - If there is a return (ret) instruction in the first 5 bytes
+// we cannot patch the function because it may not be long enough
+// for the jmp instruction we use to inject our patch.
+// - If there is another thread currently executing within the bytes
+// that are copied to the preamble stub, it will crash in an undefined
+// way.
+//
+// If you get any other error than the above, you're either pointing the
+// patcher at an invalid instruction (e.g. into the middle of a multi-
+// byte instruction, or not at memory containing executable instructions)
+// or, there may be a bug in the disassembler we use to find
+// instruction boundaries.
