Ok :)

The most obvious one is eBPF verifier in separate file (kernel/bpf/verifier.c)
bpf maps is yet another thing, but that's different topic.
Probably a set of bpf-callable functions in another file. Like right now
for sockets these helpers are __skb_get_pay_offset(), __skb_get_nlattr()
For tracing there will be a different set of helper functions and eventually
some will be common. Like __get_raw_cpu_id() from filter.c could
eventually move to kernel/bpf/helpers.c
I'm not a fan of squeezing different logic into one file.
