Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/6] eBPF JIT for PPC64

Implement extended BPF JIT for ppc64. We retain the classic BPF JIT for
ppc32 and move ppc64 BE/LE to use the new JIT. Classic BPF filters will
be converted to extended BPF (see convert_filter()) and JIT'ed with the
new compiler.

Most of the existing macros are retained and fixed/enhanced where
appropriate. Patches 1-4 are geared towards this.

Patch 5 breaks out the classic BPF JIT specifics into a separate
bpf_jit32.h header file, while retaining all the generic instruction
macros in bpf_jit.h. Most of these macros can potentially be generalized
and moved to more common code (tagged with a TODO in patch 6).

Patch 6 implements eBPF JIT for ppc64.

This is still *early* *RFC* and there are still a few instruction
classes to be JIT'ed. I am posting this in advance so as to get early
feedback. Kindly review the same and if possible, try it out and let me
know how it goes!
