Subject: [PATCH bpf-next 0/2] libbpf: usdt aarch64 support

USDT support [1] requires architecture-specific handling for translating
from argument strings describing each probe argument to appropriate values
that can be made available to the BPF program.  Determining value size,
whether it refers to a dereference (and if there is an offset from the
register value), a register value or a constant all has to be parsed
slightly differently for different architectures.

However a common representation is created for use within BPF programs
(via usdt.bpf.h), and patch 1 abstracts out the initialization of
struct usdt_arg_spec associated with the argument, rather than repeating
those steps for each architecture.

Patch 2 then adds aarch64-specific argument parsing.
