I would add more comments for the rule and ability tests just to help
people read this.

I find this switch statement mixed with the "if (ability...)" kind of
hard to read and a bit fragile. I think it'd be better written as:

switch (func_id) {
case BPF_FUNC_map_lookup_elem:
   return ...
}

if (ability_write) {
    switch (func_id) {
        ...
    }
}

if (ability_debug) {
    switch (func_id) {
        ...
    }
}

return NULL;

Then it's self-documenting and it's harder to add a case without the
desired ability check...

Yay const and ro_after_init! :)
