Ah, crap, looks like between all the branch switching I didn't build
vmlinux with kfunc annotations. Having fixed that, I can repro this
build failure.
I'll take a look and see what the best way to fix this is.
Given that end to end the whole flow basically works, should we start
working on merging patches?
Thanks,
