The following also works:
-BPF_KFUNC(void *bpf_obj_new_impl(u64 local_type_id__k, void *meta__ign))
+BPF_KFUNC(
+void *bpf_obj_new_impl(u64 local_type_id__k, void *meta__ign)
+)

and it looks little bit cleaner to me.

git grep -A1 BPF_KFUNC
can still find all instances of kfuncs.

wdyt?

I'm fine with putting it on its own line if that's your preference.
Agreed that it might be a bit cleaner, especially for functions with the
return type on its own line, so we'd have e.g.:

BPF_KFUNC(
struct nf_conn *
bpf_skb_ct_lookup(struct __sk_buff *skb_ctx, struct bpf_sock_tuple *bpf_tuple,
u32 tuple__sz, struct bpf_ct_opts *opts, u32 opts__sz)

Yeah. Especially for those.

) {

// ...

}

Note the presence of the { on the closing paren. Are you ok with that?
Otherwise I think it will look a bit odd:

Yep. Good idea. Either ){ or ) { look good to me.

BPF_KFUNC(
struct nf_conn *
bpf_skb_ct_lookup(struct __sk_buff *skb_ctx, struct bpf_sock_tuple *bpf_tuple,
u32 tuple__sz, struct bpf_ct_opts *opts, u32 opts__sz)
)
{

}

Did you look into making this similar to the EXPORT_SYMBOL() infra? If possible
that would look much more natural to developers, e.g. :

struct nf_conn *
bpf_skb_ct_lookup(struct __sk_buff *skb_ctx, struct bpf_sock_tuple *bpf_tuple,
u32 tuple__sz, struct bpf_ct_opts *opts, u32 opts__sz)
{
[...]
}

EXPORT_BPF_KFUNC(bpf_skb_ct_lookup);
