SRU Justification:
[ Impact ]
Previously applied patches to the generic kernel are making
jammy:linux-riscv-6.8 FTBFS because of missing declaration of
some functions in arch/riscv/net/bpf_jit.h.
Those previous patches were applied in bulk as part of upstream
stable patchset 2026-01-26.
See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2139072
The following commit, fixing CVE-2025-40079, from kernel 6.12,
uses functions that were not yet defined in 6.8:
riscv, bpf: Sign extend struct ops return values properly
(fd2e08128944a7679e753f920e9eda72057e427c)

... and more missing functions
[ Fix ]
Cherry picked 6 missing commits from upstream:

"riscv, bpf: Optimize bswap insns with Zbb support"
Those commits add definitions for the missing functions emit_sextX and others.
[ Test Case ]
Kernel build succeeded.
