not quite.
you can store a pointer to stack and read it as 8 byte load back into
another register, but reading <8 byte of it will be rejected.
That's the test:
unpriv: read pointer from stack in small chunks
we obviously want to avoid hiding pointer in integers.
After reading it back from stack as a pointer you cannnot use
this register to pass as index into bpf_tail_call().
That's the test:
unpriv: pass pointer to helper function

please keep shooting everything that comes to mind.
