You mean BPF programs that used previous incarnation of BTF-defined
maps? No, they won't work. But we never released them, so I think it's
ok to change them. Nothing should be using that except for selftests,
which I fixed.

Yes, but it's another story for another set of patches. We'll need to
provide bpf_helpers as part of libbpf for inclusion into BPF programs,
but there are a bunch of problems right now with existing
bpf_heplers.h that prevents us from just copying it into libbpf. We'll
need to resolve those first.
But then again, there is no use of __int and __type for user-space
programs, so for now it's ok.
