it didn't work because number and types of args were incompatible.
Every samples/bpf/sockex[0-9]_kern.c is using llvm.bpf.load.* intrinsics.

the typeid changing ids with order is surprising.
I think the assertion in ExtractTypeInfo() is not hard.
Just there were no such use cases. May be we can do something
similar to what LowerIntrinsicCall() does and lower it differently
in the backend.
