Will do.

I did that to separate the hook into
raw_tp_writable_prog_is_valid_access, which (compared to
raw_tp_prog_is_valid_access):

1) permits writes, and
2) encodes the assumption than the context begins with the pointer to
that writable buffer

I'm not sure those are appropriate for all users of
BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT, but I can't immediately point out any
harm in doing so -- some dereferences of ctx that have historically
returned a SCALAR_VALUE would end up tagged as a PTR_TO_TP_BUFFER, but
they still won't be able to access through that pointer unless they're
attached to the right tracepoint.

I'll try to unify the two and see what I get.

Nope, that was an oversight from an (incorrect) assumption that
arithmetic would be disallowed on a PTR_TO_TP_BUFFER. I'll fix this in
v2.
