they are register numbers, since they are assigned into 'a_reg' and 'x_reg'
which are described in uapi/filter.h:
__u8 a_reg:4; /* dest register */
__u8 x_reg:4; /* source register */
and in Doc...filter.txt
In the V1 series I had a bunch of #define like:
#define R1 1
#define R2 2
which seemed as silly as doing '#define one 1'
I thought that the sk_convert_filter() code is pretty clear in terms
of what it's doing, but I'm happy to add an extensive comment to
describe the mechanics.
Also it felt that most of the time you and other folks want me to remove
comments, so I figured I'll add comments on demand.
Here looks like it's the case.

that's certainly not the intent. I've presented it at the last plumbers conf
and would like to share more, since I think ebpf is a fundamental
breakthrough that can be used by many kernel subsystems.
This patch only covers old filters and seccomp.
We can do a lot more interesting things with tracing+ebpf and so on.
Regards,
Alexei
