clang supports arbitrary length ints using the _ExtInt extension. This
can be useful to hold very large values, e.g. 256 bit or 512 bit types.
Larger types (e.g. 1024 bits) are possible but I am unaware of a use
case for these.
This requires the _ExtInt extension to enabled for BPF in clang, which
is under review.
