It should be enough to leave only used enumerators, but I suppose it
doesn't take much space to record all. We can adjust that later, if
necessary.

Looks good, few nits and concerns, but it feels like it's really close
to being ready.

save errno before p_err, it can clobber errno otherwise

same, always save errno first before any non-trivial function/macro call

id is type_id or could be some other id? It's best to be consistent in
naming to avoid second guessing like in this case.

why the cast?

why would it not follow the pointer? E.g., if I have a field defined as
struct blah ***my_field;
You at the very least would need either an empty struct blah or FWD
for struct blah, no?

check that btf_ext is not NULL?
