The fix on BPF_LD | BPF_IMM | BPF_DW looks correct to me, but the two other
places looks to me is unnecessary, as those destinations are exposed to
external and if they are used as 64-bit then there will be zext inserted
for them.
Have you verified removing those two fixes will still cause the bug?
