Well, that was quick.
Would someone from the iovisor project like to be the official contact for
this? Otherwise I'll give them contact details for Red Hat.

regard to this entry:
*Contact info for EM_BPF*

The Linux kernel supports a virtual machine derived from the Berkeley Packet
Filter (BPF) virtual machine. LLVM has a compiler backend targeting this
virtual machine, which produces ELF object files.
Currently, the LLVM backend is using EM_NONE, which is less than optimal for
the rest of the compiler tool chain.
We request an official number for the symbolic name EM_BPF, so as to improve
this situation.
Thanks,
