There are more default paths than just /boot. Also some grammer
issues in the above like 'should also can be'.

Maybe the commit message can be changed like below.

Currently, the default vmlinux files at '/boot/vmlinux-*',
'/lib/modules/*/vmlinux-*' etc. are parsed with 'btf__parse_elf'
to extract BTF. It is possible that these files are actually
raw BTF files similar to /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux. So parse
these files with 'btf__parse' which tries both raw format and
ELF format.

It would be great if you can add more information on why
'/boot/vmlinux-*' or '/lib/modules/*/vmlinux-*' might be
a raw BTF file in your system.
