Although this is an OK solution to this problem, I think it highlights a
bigger problem, which is that we're still doing the feature patching too
late.

If we can move the feature patching prior to MMU init, then all (or more
of) these problems with pre vs post patching go away.

I'll see if I can come up with something tomorrow.
