The current BPF store/load instruction is translated by the JIT into two
instructions. The first instruction moves the immediate offset into a
temporary register. The second instruction uses this temporary register
to do the real store/load.
In fact, arm64 supports addressing with immediate offsets. So This patch
introduces optimization that uses arm64 str/ldr instruction with immediate
offset when the offset fits.
Example of generated instuction for r2 = *(u64 *)(r1 + 0):
without optimization:
mov x10, 0
ldr x1, [x0, x10]
with optimization:
ldr x1, [x0, 0]
If the offset is negative, or is not aligned correctly, or exceeds max
value, rollback to the use of temporary register.
