The host endpoint's datapath, living in bpf_host, can be attached to several devices (host devices and native devices). The BPF program is compiled once for the first host device (cilium_host) and patched before loading to adjust it to the other devices, by changing a few symbols in the object file. Therefore, the state directory of the host endpoint contains one object file per device. There is however a single header file, with the values for the host device. This commit fixes that to create one header file per device, with the appropriate values. The goal is to simplify inspection of Cilium state and avoid having to read symbols manually in the object files. Signed-off-by: Paul Chaignon <paul@cilium.io>
