calling convention for int128 in bpf is _undefined_.
calling convention for struct by value in bpf is also _undefined_.

In many cases the compiler has to have the backend code
so other parts of the compiler can function.
I didn't bother explicitly disabling every undefined case.
Please don't read too much into llvm generated code.
