For modifying instructions in xmon, patch_instruction() can serve the same role that store_inst() is performing with the advantage of not being specific to xmon. In some places patch_instruction() is already being using followed by store_inst(). In these cases just remove the store_inst(). Otherwise replace store_inst() with patch_instruction().
