Make it work. Thank you.

It doesn't work for me at first since in my llvm there's only 
llvm.bpf.load.*.

I think llvm.bpf.store.* belone to some patches you haven't posted yet?

But in backend can we still get type information? I thought type is
meaningful in frontend only, and backend behaviors is unable to affect
DWARF generation, right?

Thank you.
