The major difference of this version is that we merge the CALL_OPS support from Puranjay [1] and make direct calls available for practical uses such as BPF. Thanks for the time reviewing the series and suggestions, we hope this version gets a step closer to happening in the upstream. Please reference the link to v3 below for more introductory view of the implementation [2] Added patch: 2, 4, 10, 11, 12 Modified patch: 5, 6 Unchanged patch: 1, 3, 7, 8, 9 (1, 8 has commit msg modified) Special thanks to Björn for his efforts on testing and guiding the series!
