This series doesn't really touch anything I maintain, but the general
appraoch seems sane to me. I like the first patch that ensures
structures are passed by reference.

The rest is all tracepoint/bpf glue and I never really got into the bpf
internals, so I don't think I've got anything useful to say there.
