The amount of memory used for jit code appears to be miniscule compared
to the rest of memory, at least according to the numbers I'm seeing.
gc patterns are different, and I don't see why we should put effort into
avoiding this. Besides, would you want to allocate jitcode memory from
outside the collected heap?
Also, could somebody answer the question as to whether I really need to
walk the jitcode?
