Well the patches to add trampoline support to powerpc were already posted.

I don't like callbacks in general.
They're fine for walk_the_tree, for_each_elem accessors,
but passing a callback into check_mem_access is not great.
Do you mind going with a bpf_kptr_xchg() helper for now
and optimizing into direct xchg insn later?
It's not clear whether it's going to be faster to be noticeable.
