Results from the next (in-progress) version of the patch series, with the
'id' bugfix I mentioned in my other mail, and rebased onto an updated
net-next (0e72582). Numbers collected with:
# tc filter add dev lo egress bpf da obj /path/to/bpf_object.o sec $section
verb 2>&1 | grep "processed" | awk -e 'BEGIN { N = 0; }' -e '{ N += $2; }' -e
'END { print N; }'

Conclusion: the ptr&const and full-range min/max tracking make little
difference (10% increase at most, sometimes a decrease); most of the
increase comes from the basic "replace imm and aux_off/align with tnums"
patch.
So based on what Alexei was saying earlier, it sounds like the answer for
now is to up the limit (say to a round 128k), get this series merged,
then start work on pruning optimisation so we can hopefully bring that
limit back down again later. Sound reasonable?
