I'm amused at the lengths the readme goes to in order to drive home the fact that this needs to be a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG instruction, including the unnecessarily long code block illustration. The topic is interesting anyway, but that makes it way more entertaining.

Unclear why there is a 1 second timeout at all.

Presumably the patch for that will be to make it an infinity timeout.

...huh, I was wondering why serial machine code prankster xoreaxeaxeax was keeping lists of extremely long-running instructions.

Hopefully this is at least only possible in kernel mode, right?

Right?!
