This support requires a number of changes, some **breaking to the bcc APIs**.\r\n\r\nChanges to the Python methods `load_func` and `BPF` are backward-compatible. Changes to `bpf_module_create_b`, `bpf_module_create_c`, `bpf_module_create_c_from_string`, and `bcc_func_load`, and `BPFModule::BPFModule` are not.\r\n\r\nI've also updated the `xdp_drop_count.py` example to support hardware offload with the new `-H device` option.ghprbCommentBodynullghprbGhRepositoryiovisor/bccghprbCredentialsId6d3daf13-69b8-48b1-9c8f-ec5353264113false<a title="Support for hardware offload" href="https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/pull/2502">PR #2502</a>: Support for hardware offload#5713328327460664bcc-pr #5757false57484SUCCESS1567099087646https://buildbot.iovisor.org/jenkins/user/danobi/my-views/view/all/job/bcc-pr/57/git57https://buildbot.iovisor.org/jenkins/user/danobi/my-views/view/all/job/bcc-pr/label=fc25/57/57https://buildbot.iovisor.org/jenkins/user/danobi/my-views/view/all/job/bcc-pr/label=fc26/57/57https://buildbot.iovisor.org/jenkins/user/danobi/my-views/view/all/job/bcc-pr/label=fc27/57/57https://buildbot.iovisor.org/jenkins/user/danobi/my-views/view/all/job/bcc-pr/label=fc28/57/57https://buildbot.iovisor.org/jenkins/user/danobi/my-views/view/all/job/bcc-pr/label=ubuntu1604/57/57https://buildbot.iovisor.org/jenkins/user/danobi/my-views/view/all/job/bcc-pr/label=ubuntu1710/57/57https://buildbot.iovisor.org/jenkins/user/danobi/my-views/view/all/job/bcc-pr/label=ubuntu1804/57/
