47 BPF programs are normally handled by a BPF interpreter. This option
48 allows the kernel to generate native code when a program is loaded
49 into the kernel. This will significantly speed-up processing of BPF

61 Enables BPF JIT and removes BPF interpreter to avoid speculative
62 execution of BPF instructions by the interpreter.

79 still reenable it by setting it to 0 later on, or permanently
80 disable it by setting it to 1 (from which no other transition to
