looks like these patches actually fix two real bugs, right?
If so, I think you probably want them in 'net' tree ?

Different arch maintainers take different stance towards bpf jit
changes. x86, arm and s390 are ok with them going through Dave's trees,
since often there are dependencies on bpf core parts.
So please state clearly what tree you want these patches to go in.

btw, in the net-next tree bpf testsuite has 246 tests and the last
ten are very stressful for JITs.
