hi Ihor, just realized that given that this change depends on recent
libbpf changes, we should look at updating the series to include a patch
updating our libbpf subproject checkpoint commit for libbpf to get those
changes for the case where the libbpf submodule is built (the default
these days). We should probably have a patch (pahole: sync with
libbpf-1.6) to cover this. An example of a subproject commit patch can
be found at

https://lore.kernel.org/dwarves/20240729111317.140816-2-alan.maguire@xxxxxxxxxx/

However I don't think those bpf-next libbpf changes have been synced
with the github libbpf repo yet. If the next libbf sync won't be for a
while, I don't think this has to block this work - we could just note
that it needs to explicitly be built with latest v1.6 via shared library
for testing purposes in the interim - but if there's a sync planned soon
it'd be great to roll that in too.

Thanks!

Alan
