Nice. That's even better than on x64 which cannot jit one test:
test_bpf: #262 BPF_MAXINSNS: Jump, gap, jump, ... jited:0 168 PASS
which was designed specifically to hit x64 jit pass limit.
ppc jit has predicatble number of passes and doesn't have this problem
as expected. Great.

don't see any issues with the code.
Thank you for working on this.
