The distinction between the hip and hipv4 offload kinds is historically based. Originally, these designations might have indicated different versions of the code object ABI (Application Binary Interface). However, as the system has evolved, the ABI version is now embedded directly within the code object itself, making these historical distinctions irrelevant during the unbundling process. Consequently, hip and hipv4 are treated as compatible in current implementations, facilitating interchangeable handling of code objects without differentiation based on offload kind. This change streamlines code management within the ecosystem.
