This PATCH attempts to introduce BPF injection capability for SMC.
As we all know that the SMC protocol is not suitable for all scenarios,
especially for short-lived. However, for most applications, they cannot
guarantee that there are no such scenarios at all. Therefore, apps
may need some specific strategies to decide shall we need to use SMC
or not, for example, apps can limit the scope of the SMC to a specific
IP address or port.

Based on the consideration of transparent replacement, we hope that apps
can remain transparent even if they need to formulate some specific
strategies for SMC using. That is, do not need to recompile their code.

On the other hand, we need to ensure the scalability of strategies
implementation. Although it is simple to use socket options or sysctl,
it will bring more complexity to subsequent expansion.

Fortunately, BPF can solve these concerns very well, users can write
thire own strategies in eBPF to choose whether to use SMC or not.
And it's quite easy for them to modify their strategies in the future.

This PATCH implement injection capability for SMC via struct_ops.
In that way, we can add new injection scenarios in the future.

I have never used smc. I can only comment at its high level usage and details on the bpf side.

Do all these need to be in btf_ids.h?

It is not obvious to me why the header moving is needed (from net/smc/smc.h to include/net/smc.h ?). This can use some comment in the commit message and please break it out to another patch.

This will ensure bpf_smc_struct_ops.c compiled as builtin even when smc is compiled as module?
