Thanks, applied with a rework commit log:

    package/libbpf: install in the correct lib directory
    
    The libbpf build system currently uses the output of "uname -m" to
    determine if the library should be installed in "lib" or
    "lib64". However, uname -m returns the architecture of the build
    machine, which often has nothing to do with the target CPU
    architecture.
    
    A patch has been submitted and accepted upstream to address this
    issue, by using the $(CC) -dumpmachine output instead. This ensures
    libbpf is installed in either "lib" or "lib64" depending on the
    bitness of the target CPU architecture.

The patch was also moved away from the version-specific directory, and
the upstream status of the patch was added in the patch itself.

Thanks!
