This breaks the build until your next patch is applied (in other
words, breaks bisection). Can we do it in three steps?
Convert to swab (without breaking existing tests), convert the tests,
remove unused __bpf_xyz defines?

Could you also send it as a series (git format-patch --thread)? Those
patches depend on each other. And pls use [PATCH bpf-next] ... subj.
