No worries. We should probably think about being able to test it
automatically in CI, but not sure how that would be possible...

Yeah, for now hardcoding is ok I figure, later when we have more
modules doing this we can generalize it.

Yes, that should be ok.

I think I also hit this problem back when I was working on these
patches, is it similar to this?
https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/20211028014428.rsuq6rkfvqzq23tg@apollo.localdomain
I think this might be a bug in the BTF generation, since there should
only be one BTF ID for a type, either in vmlinux or the module BTF.
Maybe Andrii would be able to confirm.
