This patch is already upstream. I agree that when the module
allocation fix is upstream, the BPF image allocation can be folded
into the module allocation. IOW, I wont send any page table dumper
patch for BPF memory.

But keep in mind that the RV BPF JIT relies on having the kernel text
within the 32b range (as does modules)
