Sure, I think it makes sense to have all the comments & documentation point
only to the preferred location, but I think for tools it makes sense to check
both places so that we don't see field regressions.  This is what the BPF code
does:

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/tools/bpf/bpftool/tracelog.c#L98

I'll add a check and fallback to this tool & send out v2.  Thanks for the
review.
