Thanks, this works. However...

I think we should drop __aarch64__ and __powerpc__ here since this 
builds fine on ppc without these hunks.

And, I think we should drop this hunk, but include the patch I sent.  
That ensures that the proper headers from the kernel source tree are 
included, so there won't be a need to explicitly define __NR_bpf for 
each architecture.
