Looking at the code I don't think it's possible to keep it valid all the time
while building, so seg6_validate_srh() after the program run seems necessary.

I think the whole set should be targeting bpf-next tree.
Please fix kbuild errors, rebase and document new helper in man-page style.
Things like:
+	test_btf_haskv.o test_btf_nokv.o test_lwt_seg6local.o
+>>>>>>> selftests/bpf: test for seg6local End.BPF action
should be fixed properly.
