It wasn't there before, but you're not removing the rest of the "llvm"
feature, so I'd expect that part to stay as well? But I don't mind much.
We use the "llvm" feature in bpftool, but beyond that, I don't
personally need it to be displayed in tools/build/Makefile.feature, so
no need to respin for that :)
