As I said, it is possible some guys never noticed their BPF program
were 'broken' because this invalid shift was hidden in a dead code
part.
We should not hide bugs and unintended uses of operations with
undefined behavior.
   JUMP 2:
   SHR  45
2: RET  10


was a valid program.

But a dumb loader decided to know better.
