"callx" instructions are generated by both clang (under -O0 or -O1) and gcc (if the
experimental -mxbpf option is passed to the compiler), but are not supported by Linux.

Per mailing list discussion at
https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/bpf/CDQjTO8R8gdPdfeKVnoxWco8_Lw/ the intent is for the Linux verifier to support them eventually. vbpf/prevail#584 adds support to PREVAIL so that dependent projects like ebpf-for-windows can use them.
