It would be helpful for later introspection if the status of BPF filesystem mounting was reported either through a new cilium bpf fs show command or directly in the cilium status output.

It should include the location of the BPF FS and whether Cilium specifically mounted the FS because the OS did not automatically provide it. (See the warning messages relating to BPFFS mounting that occur early in Daemon startup).

For testing this feature it may be worth considering to have an option to tweak the helm charts to omit the BPFFS mounting from the host.
