Okay, then we can go ahead with this.

Another thing about the consistency of rw_ and ro_ prefix.
The ctx->image is used all over the place in the JIT, so changing it would
require a lot of changes. Therefore the naming convention that I will follow is
"image" and "ro_image". By this naming convention, ctx->image can be left
untouched and only ro_image would be used at some places like:
-       prog->bpf_func = (void *)ctx.image;
+       prog->bpf_func = (void *)ctx.ro_image;
etc.

I will use this in the next version of the patch.

Thanks,
