Do you mean having the bpftool construct an array for tail calling
automatically when loading an object? Or do a "mass pin" of all
programs in an object file?
I'm not convinced about this strategy of auto assembling a tail call
array by assuming that a flow dissector object carries programs for
protocols in order (apart from the main program which doesn't have to
be first, for some reason).
