As Xu mentioned, either this needs to use flush_icache_range() to IPI all CPUs
in the system, or we need to make it the caller's responsibility to do that.

Otherwise, I think this is functionally ok, but I'm not certain that it's good
for BPF to be using the FIX_TEXT_POKE0 slot as that will serialize all BPF
loading, ftrace, kprobes, etc against one another. Do we ever expect to load
multiple BPF programs in parallel, or is that serialized at a higher level?

Thanks,
Mark.
