They can't in the newest kernel, but libbpf will keep working and
supporting old kernels for a very long time now. So please don't
remove any of this.

But it would be nice to add a detection of whether kernel needs a
RLIMIT_MEMLOCK bump or not. Is there some simple and reliable way to
detect this from user-space?
