It is an interesting feature.
I am yet to catch up on your implementation details.
Meanwhile, I have tried to run non JIT version on arm64.
I had some compilation issue with 4.9 kernel with gcc 5.3 toolchain.
Following patch fixes that.

Just wondering what we will do with FreeBSD, May it better to
kill the dependency of linux/filter.h and different kernel versions
by making bpf_impl.h self sufficient. Just a thought.
