I will correct it.

I think it does and it also impacts BPF testing. Hence in my cover letter i have mentioned that these
changes will impact BPF. My level of expertise is very limited to BPF hence the reason for RFC. 
That being said i am actually trying to understand/learn BPF instructions to know things better. 
I think we need to also change the offset SKB_MONO_DELIVERY_TIME_MASK and TC_AT_INGRESS_MASK


#ifdef __BIG_ENDIAN_BITFIELD
#define SKB_MONO_DELIVERY_TIME_MASK	(1 << 7) //Suspecting changes here too
#define TC_AT_INGRESS_MASK		(1 << 6) // and here 
#else
#define SKB_MONO_DELIVERY_TIME_MASK	(1 << 0)
#define TC_AT_INGRESS_MASK		(1 << 1) (this might have to change to 1<<2 )
#endif
#define SKB_BF_MONO_TC_OFFSET		offsetof(struct sk_buff, __mono_tc_offset)

Also i suspect i change in /selftests/bpf/prog_tests/ctx_rewrite.c 
I am trying to figure out what this part of the code is doing.

Please correct me if i am wrong here.

I can put a warn on here incase if both MONO and TAI are set. 
OR 
Rather make it simple as you have mentioned below.
