I'm taking note to make these logs available when users pass the --debug
flag (https://github.com/libbpf/bpftool/issues/137), there's no reason
to hide them in that case.

Agreed, the whole point of commit 44ba7b30e84f that introduced the issue
was to make bpftool work with older kernels. BPF_CORE_READ sounds like
the right approach, thank you!
