You're optimizing for a memory footprint, I guess. I was trying to
point out that maybe it's easier just to put everything in the bpf_link
and don't do any castings. Some events would use attach_type, some
won't. But, OTOH, maybe having a specific bpf_link variation per
attachment is more readable, idk :-)
