--btf_features is used to specify the list of requested features for BTF encoding. However, it is not strict in rejecting requests with unknown features; this allows us to use the same parameters regardless of pahole version. --btf_features_strict carries out the same encoding with the same feature set, but will fail if an unrecognized feature is specified. So pahole -J --btf_features=enum64,foo will succeed, while pahole -J --btf_features_strict=enum64,foo will not.
