+/* A note about branch offset calculations.  The addrs[] array,
+ * indexed by BPF instruction, records the address after all the
+ * sparc instructions emitted for that BPF instruction.
+ *
+ * The most common case is to emit a branch at the end of such
+ * a code sequence.  So this would be two instructions, the
+ * branch and it's delay slot.
+ *
+ * Therefore by default the branch emitters calculate the branch
+ * offset field as:
+ *
+ *	destination - (addrs[i] - 8)
+ *
+ * This "addrs[i] - 8" is the address of the branch itself or
+ * what "." would be in assembler notation.  The "8" part is
+ * how we take into consideration the branch and it's delay
+ * slot mentioned above.
+ *
+ * Sometimes we need to emit a branch earlier in the code
+ * sequence.  And in these situations we adjust "destination"
+ * to accomodate this difference.  For example, if we needed
+ * to emit a branch (and it's delay slot) right before the
+ * final instruction emitted for a BPF opcode, we'd use
+ * "destination + 4" instead of just plain "destination" above.
+ *
+ * This is why you see all of these funny emit_branch() and
+ * emit_jump() calls with adjusted offsets.
