Reading the history and other ports of the JIT implementation, I couldn't 
tell if the decision on skipping the 1st entry was deliberate or not on 
Aarch64. Reading through the mailist list didn't help either [1].
Skipping the 1st entry seems indeed to cause the problem.
I did run the patch though the BPF tests and showed no regressions + fixing 
the error.

I'll re-spin and apply one

My bad here, I'll add a Co-developed-by on v2 for the rest of the people and 
move my Signed-off last
