How about just 'offset' ?

Probably worth clarifying that in case of S[DIV|MOD] | ALU64 the imm is sign
extended from 32 to 64 and interpreted as signed 64-bit.

How about:

Instruction BPF_MOVSX does move operation with sign extension. 
BPF_ALU | MOVSX sign extendes 8-bit and 16-bit into 32-bit and upper 32-bit are zeroed.
BPF_ALU64 | MOVSX sign extends 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit into 64-bit.

Worth spelling out imm 32 and 64 too ?

How about:

``BPF_MEM | <size> | BPF_LDX`` means::

  dst = *(unsigned size *) (src + offset)

``BPF_MEMSX | <size> | BPF_LDX`` means::

  dst = *(signed size *) (src + offset)
