The eBPF calling convention is defined as:
* R0: return value from function calls, and exit value for eBPF programs
* R1 - R5: arguments for function calls
* R6 - R9: callee saved registers that function calls will preserve
* R10: read-only frame pointer to access stack
* R0: return value from function calls, and exit value for eBPF programs
* R1 - R5: arguments for function calls
* R6 - R9: callee saved registers that function calls will preserve

R0 - R5 are scratch registers and eBPF programs needs to spill/fill them if
necessary across calls.

eBPF has two instruction encodings:
* the basic instruction encoding, which uses 64 bits to encode an instruction
* the wide instruction encoding, which appends a second 64-bit immediate value
(imm64) after the basic instruction for a total of 128 bits.
