Those are covered as part of the ALU/ALU64 check.

My initial idea was to add it into reg_bounds_sync() and make
reg_bounds_sync() return int (right now it's void). But discussing
with Alexei we came to the conclusion that it would be a bit too much
code churn for little gain. This coerce_subreg...() stuff, it's also
void, so we'd need to propagate errors out of it as well.

In the end I think I'm covering basically all relevant cases (ALU,
LDX, RETVAL, COND_JUMP).

That would be a) a bit wasteful, and b) I'd need to re-interpret BPF_X
vs BPF_K and all the other idiosyncrasies of instruction encoding. So
it doesn't seem like a good idea.

trimming is good
