I've applied patches 1-4, since they're somewhat indepedent of new features in 5+.
What should be the process to land the rest?
Land llvm first and add to bpf/README.rst that certain llvm commmits are necessary
to build the tests?
But CI will start failing. We can wait for that to be fixed,
but I wonder is there way to detect new clang __builtins automatically in
selftests and skip them if clang is too old?
