Up to this point, it looks correct. r2/r3 contain the stack pointer
which corresponds to the instruction at "2:"

>    0xbf000198:  asr     r2, r2, #24
>    0xbf00019c:  str     r2, [r11, #-16]

This then narrows the 64-bit pointer down to just 8!!! bits, but this
is what the instruction at "4:" is asking for. However, it looks like
it's happening to BPF's "r1" rather than "r3" and this is probably
where the problem lies.

I haven't got time to analyse this further this morning - I'm only
around sporadically today. I'll try to look deeper at this later on.
