Also, seems like a is a missed opportunity to show iTLB misses with more
detail. If there was a selftest to stress bpf JIT you could use perf and
enable anyone to quanitfy gains. Dave hinted with some ideas with perf:

perf stat -e cpu/event=0x8,umask=0x84,name=dtlb_load_misses_walk_duration/,cpu/event=0x8,umask=0x82,name=dtlb_load_misses_walk_completed/,cpu/event=0x49,umask=0x4,name=dtlb_store_misses_walk_duration/,cpu/event=0x49,umask=0x2,name=dtlb_store_misses_walk_completed/,cpu/event=0x85,umask=0x4,name=itlb_misses_walk_duration/,cpu/event=0x85,umask=0x2,name=itlb_misses_walk_completed/ some_bpf_jit_test
