The entire bpf_jit_asm.S is written in noreorder mode because "we know
better" according to a comment. This also prevented the assembler from
throwing in the required NOPs for MIPS I processors which have no
load-use interlock, thus the load's consumer might end up using the
old value of the register from prior to the load.
Fixed by putting the assembler in reorder mode for just the affected
load instructions. This is not enough for gas to actually try to be
clever by looking at the next instruction and inserting a nop only
when needed but as the comment said "we know better", so getting gas
to unconditionally emit a NOP is just right in this case and prevents
adding further ifdefery.

FEXPORT also marks the symbol as code using .type symbol, @function.
Without objdump -d will output only a hexdump for code following the
affected symbols.

The rotr, seh and wsbh instructions have been introduced with the R2
ISA. Thus the current BPF code fails to build on pre-R2 little endian

On little endian, avoid generating the big endian version of the code
by using #else in addition to #ifdef #endif. Also fix one alignment
issue wrt delay slot.

This commit introduces BPF ASM helpers for MIPS and MIPS64 kernels.
The purpose of this patch is to twofold:
1) We are now able to handle negative offsets instead of either
falling back to the interpreter or to simply not do anything and
bail out.
2) Optimize reads from the packet header instead of calling the C
helpers
Because of this patch, we are now able to get rid of quite a bit of
code in the JIT generation process by using MIPS optimized assembly
code. The new assembly code makes the test_bpf testsuite happy with
all 60 test passing successfully compared to the previous
implementation where 2 tests were failing.
Doing some basic analysis in the results between the old
implementation and the new one we can obtain the following
summary running current mainline on an ER8 board (+/- 30us delta is
ignored to prevent noise from kernel scheduling or IRQ latencies):
Summary: 22 tests are faster, 7 are slower and 47 saw no improvement
with the most notable improvement being the tcpdump tests. The 7 tests
that seem to be a bit slower is because they all follow the slow path
(bpf_internal_load_pointer_neg_helper) which is meant to be slow so
that's not a problem.
