Grepping through linux.git/tools I guess some BTF tools/libs need to
know what BTF_INT_UNSIGNED is?
BTF_INT_UNSIGNED needs kernel support. Maybe to teach pahole to
ignore this for now until kernel infrastructure is ready.

Yeah, I thought about doing that.

Not sure whether this information will be useful or not
for BTF. This needs to be discussed separately.

Maybe search for the rationale for its introduction in DWARF.

In LLVM, we have:
  uint8_t BTFEncoding;
  switch (Encoding) {
  case dwarf::DW_ATE_boolean:
    BTFEncoding = BTF::INT_BOOL;
    break;
  case dwarf::DW_ATE_signed:
  case dwarf::DW_ATE_signed_char:
    BTFEncoding = BTF::INT_SIGNED;
    break;
  case dwarf::DW_ATE_unsigned:
  case dwarf::DW_ATE_unsigned_char:
    BTFEncoding = 0;
    break;

I think DW_ATE_unsigned can be ignored in pahole since
the default encoding = 0. A simple comment is enough.
