Is this even technically feasible? I don't think the kernel presents a
stable interface to BPF programs.
I'm not sure to be honest, but I'll raise that as a question to the
patch submitter. I'm not very familiar with BPF, just saw the suggestion
to ship pre-built BPF bytecode and was concerned this would not be
acceptable for Fedora.
