This allows us to prune many more branches; here are some processed insn
counts for some Cilium programs:
Program before after
bpf_lb_opt_-DLB_L3.o 6515 3361
bpf_lb_opt_-DLB_L4.o 8976 5176
bpf_lb_opt_-DUNKNOWN.o 2960 1137
bpf_lxc_opt_-DDROP_ALL.o 95412 48537
bpf_lxc_opt_-DUNKNOWN.o 141706 78718
bpf_netdev.o 24251 17995
bpf_overlay.o 10999 9385
The runtime is also improved; here are 'time' results in ms:
Program before after
bpf_lb_opt_-DLB_L3.o 24 6

bpf_lb_opt_-DUNKNOWN.o 11 2
bpf_lxc_opt_-DDROP_ALL.o 1288 139
bpf_lxc_opt_-DUNKNOWN.o 1768 234
bpf_netdev.o 62 31
