Sounds good.

We do that in a bunch of places, I'll see if that's easy to do.

Ah, I see what you are saying... I can just declare array as

const char *attach_type_strings[__MAX_BPF_ATTACH_TYPE] = { ... }

to prevent this. There is still this issue of potentially getting back
NULL pointer. But that warrants separate "audit" of the code usage and
fixing appropriately, I don't think it belongs in this patch set.
