Question: What kernel tree should this go into???

If going through Jonathan Corbet, will it appear sooner here???
 https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
If it will not appear sooner that way, then it's likely best to keep
it in sync with the tree that takes eBPF code changes.


This marks the beginning of user-facing developer documentation for
using eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) as part of the kernel
Documentation/ tree.

This documentation is also available here[1], as an intermidiate quick
way of prototyping and releasing the documentation.  The autoriative
and official version of the documentation is what gets included in the
kernel tree.  The docs at [2] will get updated based on what gets
accepted after the standard peer-review kernel process.

Thanks to the following people, who have already reviewed and fixed
earlier versions of this documentation on the IOvisor mailing-list:

 Alexander Alemayhu <alexander@alemayhu.com>
 Alexei Starovoitov <ast@fb.com>
 Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>
 Quentin Monnet <quentin.monnet@6wind.com>
