LGTM
but I would like to hold on this set until we fix the fallout
from cpu bug. See my patch: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/855911/
If we merge your set to bpf-next today we'll have very nasty
conflicts between bpf and bpf-next.
I'd like to fix everything necessary for these CVEs in bpf tree first
and get that merged all the way to bpf-next through Linus tree
before proceeding with this refactoring.
Ok?
