I'm just wondering, next to the feedback that has already been
provided, would opening this up for ppc32 make it significantly
more difficult in future to migrate from classic BPF JIT to eBPF
JIT eventually (which is what we want long-term)? Being curious,
is there any ongoing effort from ppc people?
