Turn libbpf's kernel feature probing into lazily-performed checks. This allows to skip performing unnecessary feature checks, if a given BPF application doesn't rely on a particular kernel feature. As we grow number of feature probes, libbpf might perform less unnecessary syscalls and scale better with number of feature probes long-term. By decoupling feature checks from bpf_object, it's also possible to perform feature probing from libbpf static helpers and low-level APIs, if necessary.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
