Description
And then inject and execute the handful of syscalls we can't emulate (yet): clone, munmap, etc. This is already the model we use for mmap.
This would greatly simplify #212, but I'm afraid it's too risky for 1.0.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing mmap model, then examine the requested clone and munmap syscall handling. Define the supported syscall set and the boundary between emulation and injection before attempting the broader change; completion would require all remaining target syscalls to follow that model.
