Since the patch is trivial and it addresses a real problem I've applied to the bpf tree. Thanks!

Add support for pointer to mem register spilling, to allow the verifier to track pointers to valid memory addresses. Such pointers are returned for example by a successful call of the bpf_ringbuf_reserve helper. The patch was partially contributed by CyberArk Software, Inc.
