This patch adds the libbpf infrastructure for supporting a per-map-type "map_extra" field, whose definition will be idiosyncratic depending on map type. For example, for the bloom filter map, the lower 4 bits of map_extra is used to denote the number of hash functions. Please note that until libbpf 1.0 is here, the "bpf_create_map_params" struct is used as a temporary means for propagating the map_extra field to the kernel.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
