Good catch, we make sure no physical allocation happens between _end and 
the next PMD aligned address, but I missed this one.

But I disagree with your solution: I made sure modules and BPF programs 
get their own virtual regions to avoid worst case scenario where one 
could allocate all the space and leave nothing to the other (we are 
limited to +- 2GB offset). Why don't just align BPF_JIT_REGION_START to 
the next PMD aligned address?

Again, good catch, thanks,

Alex
