[PATCH bpf-next v3 1/2] bpf, mips: Factor register moves into helpers

From: Nicholas Dudar

Date: Sat Sep 12 2026 - 00:12:43 EST


Factor ALU32 and ALU64 register moves into backend-local helpers,
keeping register-pair handling and zero extension with the move.
This prepares for decoding the MOVSX width in those helpers.

Keep the verifier-inserted zero-extension marker on its existing path.
No functional change intended.
