Sure, will do, but let's first agree on the semantical differences of
load vs loadall.

So far *load* actually loads _all_ progs (via bpf_object__load), but pins
only the first program. Is that what we want? I wonder whether the
assumption there was that there is only single program in the object.
Should we load only the first program in *load*?

If we add *loadall*, then the difference would be:
*load*:
  * loads all maps and only the first program, pins only the first
    program
*loadall*:
  * loads all maps and all programs, pins everything (maps and programs)

Is this the expected behavior?
