Patch #1 & #2 are simple cleanup patches. Patch #3 refactors JIT
compiler code with the aim to simplify adding BPF_PROBE_MEM support.
Patch #4 introduces PPC_RAW_BRANCH() macro instead of open coding
branch instruction. Patch #5 & #7 add BPF_PROBE_MEM support for PPC64
& PPC32 JIT compilers respectively. Patch #6 & #8 handle bad userspace
pointers for PPC64 & PPC32 cases respectively.

I thought that BPF was only allowed to do fairly restricted
memory accesses - so WTF does it need a BPF_PROBE_MEM instruction?
