While in general I am all for removing unused function, I would actually
prefer to keep these because they are part of our BPF library and likely
to be of use in the future.  Yes, we could always revert this, but it is
probably more likely that we would end up re-implementing them because
we forgot they ever existed.  Since we implement our own library to
interact with the BPF subsystem, having some extra functions around for
now for functionality that isn't immediately trivial to implement when
you deal with inner maps for the first time, can be useful.
