I have never used smc. I can only comment at its high level usage and details on 
the bpf side.

Do all these need to be in btf_ids.h?

It is not obvious to me why the header moving is needed (from net/smc/smc.h to 
include/net/smc.h ?). This can use some comment in the commit message and please 
break it out to another patch.

This will ensure bpf_smc_struct_ops.c compiled as builtin even when smc is 
compiled as module?

Is it sure one global negotiator (policy) will work for all smc_sock? or each sk 
should have its own negotiator and the negotiator is selected by setsockopt.

What happens to the existing negotiator?

How is btf_smc_ids used?
