Does this new BPF-to-BPF stack argument convention work correctly with
the existing RV64 trampoline code?

The convention here reads incoming stack arguments from FP+0, FP+8, etc
(callee FP == caller SP). But looking at store_args() in this same file,
the trampoline appears to use the native RISC-V ABI instead:

arch/riscv/net/bpf_jit_comp64.c:store_args() {
    for (i = 0; i < nr_arg_slots; i++) {
        if (i < RV_MAX_REG_ARGS)
            emit_sd(RV_REG_FP, -args_off, RV_REG_A0 + i, ctx);
        else
            emit_ld(RV_REG_T1, 16 + (i - RV_MAX_REG_ARGS) * 8, RV_REG_FP, ctx);

where RV_MAX_REG_ARGS is 8, so it expects arguments 6, 7, 8 in a5, a6, a7
and arguments 9+ at FP+16.

For a BPF subprogram using this new convention, arguments 6+ arrive in
memory, not in a5-a7. When an fentry or fexit program attaches to such a
subprogram, wouldn't it read unrelated register values instead of the real
arguments?

Both arm64 and x86-64 appear to avoid this by keeping their BPF stack
argument convention identical to their native ABIs. arm64 uses
`stack_arg_reg[] = { A64_R(5), A64_R(6), A64_R(7) }` and x86-64 keeps arg6
in r9, so their trampolines work without changes.

Can fentry/fexit attach to static BPF subprograms with more than 5
arguments, or is there a verifier check that prevents this?
