Subject: [PATCH] Signed-off-by: giladreti <gilad.reti@...il.com>

Added support for pointer to mem register spilling, to allow the verifier
to track pointer to valid memory addresses. Such pointers are returned
for example by a successful call of the bpf_ringbuf_reserve helper.

This patch was suggested as a solution by Yonghong Song.
