Hi Tiezhu,

Can you elaborate on the "it seems bad for some users" part? What's the concrete
use case? Also, why not add (e.g. mips) JIT to ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_BPF_JIT if the
CI suite passes with high degree/confidence?
can select ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_BPF_JIT for those archs if it is proper,
but at least for now, make BPF_JIT_DEFAULT_ON selectable can give them
a chance.
Additionally, with this patch, under !BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON, we can disable
BPF_JIT_DEFAULT_ON on the archs with ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_BPF_JIT when make
menuconfig, it seems flexible for some developers.

Why is the extra BPF_SYSCALL dependency needed? You could still have this for cBPF->eBPF
translations when BPF syscall is compiled out (e.g. seccomp, sock/packet filters, etc).
