Sorry, had a travel over the weekend, so didn't read it in time.

What is the issue with imitating in JIT what the interpreter is
doing as a starting point? That should be generic enough to handle
any case.

Otherwise you'd need some sort of reverse mapping since verifier
already converted BPF_CALL insns into relative helper addresses
in imm part.
