Sorry for the delay on this.  Discussed in [1].  It's a helper for
proving to the verifier that your access in the array is valid.  Happy
to change names or whatever.  =)

Also added a libbpf helper function for mmapping an mmappable map.

We've been using both in our ghost-BPF schedulers[2].

Barret Rhoden (2):
  libbpf: add helpers for mmapping maps
  selftests/bpf: add inline assembly helpers to access array elements
