[PATCH v2] arm: eBPF JIT compiler

I just looked at the code again and I think I completely misunderstood
the logic of  BPF_JMP | BPF_CALL.
I think each helper function is working like this.

____helper_function(u32 a1, u32 a2){
}

helper_function(u64 a1, u64 a2){
     ____helper_function((u32 *)a1, (u32 *)a2);
}

So ultimately, we call helper_function which takes u64 as arguments
only. I know its asking a lot, but can you please confirm this asap? I
would like to start implementing it.
