I think for patch [1], we only need libbpf and selftest change, no
kernel change is needed since we
explicitly does not support 32bit kernel in the
beginning of function bpf_kprobe_multi_link_attach():

         /* no support for 32bit archs yet */
         if (sizeof(u64) != sizeof(void *))
                 return -EOPNOTSUPP;

and in kernel, address (pointer) size will be considered
long (64bit) which is exactly the libbpf change did that.
