It is messy.  The new functions to register/unregister ASIC are called
bpf_offload_dev_*, hence it seemed like a good idea to call the
function exported to the drivers bpf_offload_dev_match() (see patches 7
and 8) to keep the driver API consistent.  But then the old function
which is only used by the verivier has to be renamed.

I will use bpf_offload_prog_map_match() and split to a separate patch.
