since bpf instruction set was introduced people learned to
read and understand kernel verifier output whereas llvm asm
output stayed obscure and unknown. Convert llvm to emit
assembler text similar to kernel to avoid this discrepancy

For the program like below
struct key_t {
int pid;
char name[16];
};
extern void test1(char *);
int test() {
struct key_t key = {};
test1(key.name);
return 0;
}
For key.name, the llc/bpf may generate the below code:
R1 = R10 // R10 is the frame pointer
R1 += -24 // framepointer adjustment
R1 |= 4 // R1 is then used as the first parameter of test1
OR operation is not recognized by in-kernel verifier.
This patch introduces an intermediate FI_ri instruction and
generates the following code that can be properly verified:
R1 = R10
R1 += -20
