nit: use shorter LIBBPF_OPTS, DECLARE_LIBBPF_OPTS is a "deprecated"
macro name I hid, but didn't remove

should we do a bit more sanity checking here? Check that component_idx
= -1 (entire func) and pointee type is FUNC?

nit: reuse t?

why extra endline?

though I'd ensure two empty lines before the first kfunc declaration
to visually separate it from other type. Maybe even add a comment like
`/* BPF kfuncs */` or something like that?
