vmlinux.h declarations are more ergnomic, especially when working with
kfuncs. The uapi headers are often incomplete for kfunc definitions.
This commit also switches bitfield accesses to use CO-RE helpers.
Switching to vmlinux.h definitions makes the verifier very
unhappy with raw bitfield accesses. The error is:
; md.u.md2.dir = direction;
33: (69) r1 = *(u16 *)(r2 +11)
misaligned stack access off (0x0; 0x0)+-64+11 size 2
Fix by using CO-RE-aware bitfield reads and writes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
