        In the future maps can have different types: hash, array, bloom
filter,
        radix-tree, but currently only hash type is supported:
        enum bpf_map_type {
           BPF_MAP_TYPE_UNSPEC,
           BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH,
        };

If we mention them here in the man page, users are going to request
them, naturally. ;) So I'd just mention what we have, not what we do
not yet have. But I'm wondering how much library boiler plate only
for BPF we want to add in future, hopefully not most of what's in
Corman ... ? ;)

:)
as cover letter says hash type was moved from this set to
later series, so it's implemented.
array and radix-tree are implemented as well, but not ready for
review yet. I have strong use cases for them.
Even two of the simplest examples for tracing (ex2 and ex3)
will benefit from 'array' type.
For bloomfiler type Chema had a strong use case as well.
I was assuming he will implement it sooner or later ;)
But, surely, I can drop future features from the manpage.
