Per discussion at Kernel Summit. Every new syscall requires
a manual page and test programs. We have had too many new syscalls
that are DOA.

There is verifier testsuite that is testing eBPF verifier from userspace
via bpf syscall. Also there are multiple examples and libbpf.
I think test coverage for bpf syscall is quite substantial already.

As far as manpage I already mentioned my plan in the other thread.
I will do it when stuff lands, since writing docs in english is the most
difficult part of these patches. I already rewrote Documentation/../filter.txt
several times. Even once Kees noticed discrepancies there when
interface changed from map_id to map_fd.
To do a manpage I'll use a help from tech writer, since I want it to
be better than docs I put in Documentation/...
