I agree here. And yes, I've been working on extending bpf_link into
cgroup and then to XDP. We are still discussing some cgroup-specific
details, but the patch is ready. I'm going to post it as an RFC to get
the discussion started, before we do this for XDP.

Yes, that's the idea. Right now I have implementation for cgroups, but
API itself is generic and should/will be extended to tracing and XDP.
