Hello,

For what it's worth, I have already seen people dump the JIT image in
kernel logs in Qemu VMs running with just a busybox, not for kernel
development, but in a context where buiding/using bpftool was not
possible. Maybe not a common case, but still, removing the debugging
mode will make that impossible. Is there a particular incentive to
remove the feature?

Best regards,
Quentin
