impressive stuff!
Everything nicely documented. Could you add few words for the above
condition as well ?
Or may be a new macro, since it occurs many times?
What are these _CALL_ELF == 2 and != 2 conditions mean? ppc ABIs ?
Will there ever be v3 ?

So far most of the bpf jits were going via net-next tree, but if
in this case no changes to the core is necessary then I guess it's fine
to do it via powerpc tree. What's your plan?
