I was thinking about whether to add a "type" field there, so we will have an explicit
mov const instruction before the call instruction, which can act as a mark. Also, if
we generate the type code automatically, a type field in this API can make things
easier since we don't need wrap the user structure in BPF stack. However, the
LLVM side is not ready yet, so we haven't post the new version.

Thank you.
