While analyzing some of the more complex BPF programs from Cilium,
I found that LLVM generally prefers to emit LD_IMM64 instead of MOV32
BPF instructions for loading unsigned 32-bit immediates into a
register. Given we cannot change the current/stable LLVM versions
that are already out there, lets optimize this case such that the
JIT prefers to emit 'mov %eax, imm32' over 'movabsq %rax, imm64'
whenever suitable in order to reduce the image size by 4-5 bytes per
such load in the typical case, reducing image size on some of the
bigger programs by up to 4%. emit_mov_imm32() and emit_mov_imm64()
have been added as helpers.
