Hi, V8->V9 - rebase on top of Hannes's patch in the same area [1] - no changes to patches 1 and 2 - added patches 3 and 4 as RFC to address Daniel's concern. patch 3 moves eBPF instruction macros and patch 4 split macros which are shared between classic and eBPF into bpf_common.h 3 and 4 will be used by verifier testsuite and will be reposted later during stage III
