SubjectRe: [PATCH] libbpf: Support raw btf placed in the default path

It's not clear what you are trying to achieve. Do you want libbpf to
attempt to load /boot/vmlinux-%1$s as raw BTF as well (so you can sort
of sneak in pregenerated BTF), or what exactly?
btf__load_vmlinux_btf() code already supports loading raw BTF, it just
needs to be explicitly specified in locations table.

So with your change locations[i].raw_btf check doesn't make sense and
we need to clean this up.

But first, let's discuss the use case, instead of your specific solution.
