Can you please describe exactly why something that is not a kernel
unit test needs deterministic BPF hash map behavior?

my use case for deterministic hashing is performance analysis.
Both while developing and tuning bpf program and while optimizing
kernel side implementation.
Local dos is a valid concern, so requiring root for this flag makes sense.
