I'm planning to add more powerful and flexible set of macros to
support BCC style a->b->c->d accesses using single macro. Something
like BPF_CORE_READ(&dst, sizeof(dst), a, b, c, d). I want to move
bpf_helpers.h into libbpf itself first, after some clean up. How about
I write all that at that time and for now just add this simpler
CORE_READ into bpf_helpers.h?

Relocations recorded by __builtin_preserve_access_index() are
described pretty well in patch #1, which adds bpf_offset_reloc. I'll
double check if I mention this built-in there, and if not - will add
that.
