Please craft a selftest from above with inline asm
(C might not work as compiler might optimize it)

Also we call:
/* fallthrough (FALSE) branch */
regs_refine_cond_op(false_reg1, false_reg2,
rev_opcode(opcode), is_jmp32);
/* jump (TRUE) branch */
regs_refine_cond_op(true_reg1, true_reg2, opcode, is_jmp32);

so despite BPF_JNE is not handled explicitly it still should have
caught above due to rev_opcode() ?
