I don't have a better idea at the moment, perhaps there could be
a clang rewrite plugin that would ignore all inline assembly code
since this is never used from BPF progs. Hmm. Really ugly that
we have to add this __EMITTING_BPF__ into arch asm files, but I
don't have a better idea for an immediate workaround right now ...
I would really prefer if we could avoid just for the sake of the
kernel samples going down the road of adding a !defined(__EMITTING_BPF__)
into a uapi asm header for mips, though. Is this coming from
networking sample code or rather tracing?
