Hi Daniel,

One small comment than I forgot to mention before (see below).

Please can you use the existing macros in debug-monitors.h for constructing
this value? We have AARCH64_BREAK_MON to get the BRK encoding, then you can
add an immediate to that file to reserve something for bpf. That way, we
make sure that other parts of the kernel don't accidentally repurpose your
fault code.

Cheers,

Will
