Matt Evans 0ca87f05ba net: filter: BPF 'JIT' compiler for PPC64
An implementation of a code generator for BPF programs to speed up packet
filtering on PPC64, inspired by Eric Dumazet's x86-64 version.

Filter code is generated as an ABI-compliant function in module_alloc()'d mem
with stackframe & prologue/epilogue generated if required (simple filters don't
need anything more than an li/blr).  The filter's local variables, M[], live in
registers.  Supports all BPF opcodes, although "complicated" loads from negative
packet offsets (e.g. SKF_LL_OFF) are not yet supported.

There are a couple of further optimisations left for future work; many-pass
assembly with branch-reach reduction and a register allocator to push M[]
variables into volatile registers would improve the code quality further.

This currently supports big-endian 64-bit PowerPC only (but is fairly simple
to port to PPC32 or LE!).

Enabled in the same way as x86-64:

	echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable

Or, enabled with extra debug output:

	echo 2 > /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable
