Hi Leon,

I'm not familiar with this part of the jit compiler, so decided that
taking a look at your series might be a good learning point.
I think I got the gist of it, but I don't understand where
the initial value of RAX (== 0) is coming from in
arch_prepare_bpf_trampoline(), could you please help me out?

Also a nitpick:
- in arch_prepare_bpf_trampoline() there is a comment detailing
the stack layout, it probably should be updated to say that
tail call count is stored as well;
- before arch_prepare_bpf_trampoline() there is a comment with
an example of generated assembly, should it be updated?

Thanks,
Eduard
