bpf, arm64: Support struct arguments in the BPF trampoline
This extends the BPF trampoline JIT to support attachment to functions that take small structures (up to 128bit) as argument. This is trivially achieved by saving/restoring a number of "argument registers" rather than a number of arguments. The AAPCS64 section 6.8.2 describes the parameter passing ABI. "Composite types" (like C structs) below 16 bytes (as enforced by the BPF verifier) are provided as part of the 8 argument registers as explained in the section C.12.
