So, from another patch:

 static u64 (*bpf_ktime_get_ns)(void) =
     (void *)5;
 static int (*bpf_trace_printk)(const char *fmt, int fmt_size, ...) =
     (void *)6;
 static int (*bpf_get_smp_processor_id)(void) =
     (void *)8;
 static int (*bpf_perf_event_output)(void *, struct bpf_map_def *, int,
void *, unsigned long) =
     (void *)23;

Where can I get this magical mistery table? Could this be hidden away in
some .h file automagically included in bpf scriptlets so that n00bies
like me don't have to be wtf'ing?
