Yeah, that definitely wasn't supposed to happen. I was looking at the
32 and 64 bit machine code closely while actively writing it, but I
must have refactored it badly when cleaning up for submission. It was
supposed to automatically be inlined, leaving it identical to the
original on 32-bit.

Given inlining is desirable here, and 64-bit inlines anyway, I think I
should just mark __patch_memory with __always_inline.
