Not a mistake, for BPF CI there are separate configs that need to be
updated manually:
  - https://github.com/kernel-patches/vmtest/blob/master/.github/actions/vmtest/latest.config
for kernel patches CI
  - https://github.com/libbpf/libbpf/tree/master/travis-ci/vmtest/configs
(there is x86-64 and s390x configs) for libbpf CI
