Add a test that relies on CO-RE, but doesn't expect any of the recent features, not available on old kernels. This is useful for Travis CI tests running against very old kernels (e.g., libbpf has 4.9 kernel testing now), to verify that CO-RE still works, even if kernel itself doesn't support BTF yet, as long as there is .BTF embedded into vmlinux image by pahole. Given most of CO-RE doesn't require any kernel awareness of BTF, it is a useful test to validate that libbpf's BTF sanitization is working well even with ancient kernels.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
