Why do we need to skip JIT'd code? There are plenty of desktop
applications that use Mono, for example, and it would be nice if we
gave them the same treatment as native applications. Likewise, I am
sure all browsers that use JIT for JavaScript need to be considered.

JIT'd code lives in anonymous pages, which are already
protected from streaming file IO because they live on
the anonymous LRUs.
