[RFC bpf-next 1/2] bpf, mips: Factor register moves into helpers
From: Nicholas Dudar
Date: Tue Aug 18 2026 - 21:06:24 EST
Both MIPS JITs currently lower register MOV instructions directly in
build_insn(), duplicating backend-specific handling for ALU32 and ALU64
destinations.
Introduce 32-bit and 64-bit register-move helpers in each backend and
route the existing MOV paths through them. Keep the verifier-inserted
zero-extension marker on its dedicated path, so this is a
behavior-preserving refactor.
