Sure, will do.

I don't think we can return.

Does the following look correct?

I will do it like this:

                /* Implement bpf_get_smp_processor_id() inline. */
                if (insn->imm == BPF_FUNC_get_smp_processor_id &&
                    prog->jit_requested && bpf_jit_supports_percpu_insn()) {
                        /* BPF_FUNC_get_smp_processor_id inlining is an
                         * optimization, so if pcpu_hot.cpu_number is ever

                         * way, it's fine to back out this inlining logic
                         */

                        insn_buf[2] = BPF_LDX_MEM(BPF_W, BPF_REG_0, BPF_REG_0, 0);
                        cnt = 3;

                        struct bpf_insn cpu_number_addr[2] = { BPF_LD_IMM64(BPF_REG_0, (u64)&cpu_number) };

                        insn_buf[0] = cpu_number_addr[0];

                        new_prog = bpf_patch_insn_data(env, i + delta, insn_buf, cnt);
                        if (!new_prog)
                                return -ENOMEM;

                        delta    += cnt - 1;
                        env->prog = prog = new_prog;

I think MOV64_IMM would have more overhead than MOV32_IMM and if we can
use it in x86-64 we should keep doing it that way. Wdyt?
