string.h: Introduce memset_range() for wiping members
For doing a memset range, the preferred method is to use
a struct_group in the structure itself. This makes the range
self-documenting, and allows the compile to validate the exact size,
makes it addressable, etc. The other memset helpers are for "everything
to the end", which doesn't usually benefit from the struct_group style
of range declaration.
Do you mean there is no need to introduce this helper,  but to use struct_group in the struct directly?

bpf: use memset_range helper in __mark_reg_known
I never saw this patch arrive on the list?
I have send this patch as well, can you please check again?
