Details

When processing a PATCH action, we extract the patch file from the MAR, write it out to disk, then read it (and the file to be patched) into memory in order to apply the binary patch.

We can skip a bunch of file IO if we just extract the patch data directly to a memory buffer when it's needed. This also helps reduce disk space requirements.
