from rule writer perspective can you somehow merge subtype definition
with the program? It seems they go hand in hand.
Like section name of the program can be:
SEC("landlock_rule1/event=fs/ability=debug")
static int landlock_fs_prog1(struct landlock_context *ctx)...
and the loader can parse this string and prepare appropriate
data structures for the kernel.
