Great, so inline and __used with __bpf_kfunc sounds like the way forward
in the short term. Arnaldo / Alexei -- how do you want to resolve the
dependency here? Going through bpf-next is probably a good idea so that
we get proper CI coverage, and any kfuncs added to bpf-next after this
can use the macro. Does that work for you?
