Thanks a lot for continuing this work. I agree with you that it's
valuable to have BPF trampoline support, even without proper direct call
support (we'll get there soon). The trampoline enables kfunc calls. On
that note; I don't see that you enable "bpf_jit_supports_kfunc_call()"
anywhere in the series.  With BPF trampoline support, the RISC-V BPF
finally can support kfunc calls!

I'd add the following to bpf_jit_comp64.c:

bool bpf_jit_supports_kfunc_call(void)
{
        return true;
}

:-)

I'll do a review ASAP.
