So I looked a bit more into it. I couldn't remember the reason why
we'd probe all maps but not all prog types, but the commit log has a
hint:

    Among the program types, only the ones that can be offloaded are probed.
    All map types are probed, as there is no specific rule telling which one
    could or could not be supported by a device in the future. All helpers
    are probed (but only for offload-able program types).

I think at the time, I was referring, for program types, to this check
in bpf_prog_offload_init() in kernel/bpf/offload.c.

    if (attr->prog_type != BPF_PROG_TYPE_SCHED_CLS &&
        attr->prog_type != BPF_PROG_TYPE_XDP)
        return -EINVAL;

This makes it impossible to have other types offloaded; but there's no
equivalent for maps, so we could theoretically have any map type
supported. So maybe not such a bad thing, filtering out non-relevant
program types but allowing out-of-kernel drivers to probe all map
types. Maybe keep this part unchanged for v2, after all?
