Awesome work, David! The bits interacting with core BPF look
good to me.

Fyi, when Ralf merges this and it goes later on to Linus, there
will be two minor (silent) merge conflicts with net-next tree
(depending which one gets there first):

1) In bpf_int_jit_compile(), below the jited = 1 assignment, there
   needs to come a prog->jited_len = image_size.

2) The internal tail call opcode changed from BPF_JMP | BPF_CALL | BPF_X
   into BPF_JMP | BPF_TAIL_CALL.

Cheers,
Daniel
