Subject: Re: [PATCH bpf-next v2 4/4] resolve_btfids: change in-place update
 with raw binary output

Nit: use ${1}.BTF / ${1}.BTF.base / ${1}.BTF_ids, so that each file is
     named by it's corresponding section?

Nit: more context needed, as is the statement raises questions but not
     answers them.

Nit: these links are moving target, should refer to a commit or a tag.

Since resolve_btfids is now responsible for distilled base generation,
does Makefile.btf need modification to remove "--btf_features=distilled_base"?

Nit: Maybe do this in get-btf.sh as for modules?
     To avoid checking for CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF in two places.
