When upgrading to libbpf 1.3 we noticed a big performance hit while
loading programs using CORE on non base-BTF symbols. This was tracked
down to the new BTF sanity check logic. The issue is the base BTF
definitions are checked first for the base BTF and then again for every
module BTF.
Loading 5 dummy programs (using libbpf-rs) that are using CORE on a
non-base BTF symbol on my system:
- Before this fix: 3s.
- With this fix: 0.1s.
Fix this by only checking the types starting at the BTF start id. This
should ensure the base BTF is still checked as expected but only once
(btf->start_id == 1 when creating the base BTF), and then only
additional types are checked for each module BTF.

This patch adds a new MACsec offloading option, MACSEC_OFFLOAD_MAC,
allowing a user to select a MAC as a provider for MACsec offloading
operations.

This patch introduces the macsec_context structure. It will be used
in the kernel to exchange information between the common MACsec
implementation (macsec.c) and the MACsec hardware offloading
implementations. This structure contains pointers to MACsec specific
structures which contain the actual MACsec configuration, and to the
underlying device (phydev for now).
