1. linux-kernel: Enable BTF …

   BTF is a new, lightweight debug information format tailored specifically
   for the needs of eBPF, allowing eBPF programs to be portable across
   various kernel versions, configurations and distributions. This is used
   by bpftrace and lots of new eBPF-based tooling to avoid a dependency
   on LLVM on the host.
   
   BTF debug information is enabled on all major distributions: Fedora 31+,
   RHEL 8.2+, Ubuntu 20.10, Debian 11 and ArchLinux all have enabled it.
   
   Enabling BTF debug information requires adding two new dependencies to
   the kernel build: Python3 and pahole. Those will be used to generate the
   BTF debugging information.
