Re: [PATCH 16/17] MIPS: bpf: Use 32 or 64-bit load instruction to load an address to register

When loading a pointer to a register we need to use the appropriate
32 or 64bit instruction to preserve the pointer's top 32bits.

(I originally sent this in reply to your internal posting, but assume you
missed it or it got eaten somewhere along the way.)

The name emit_load_addr & comment "load address to register" makes this
sound like an equivalent of the "la" pseudo instruction, but it appears
to really emit a pointer sized load? How about emit_load_ptr or something
instead, and similarly s/address/pointer/ in the comment?

+	else
+		emit_instr(ctx, lw, dst, imm, src);
Is there some way you could make use of the UASM_i_LW macro (note the
capitalisation) instead of the if statement here?

Thanks,
