indeed different. I don't fully understand that use case.
Generally programming host BPF from guest is a clear win - think DOS
protection. Guest runs logic to detect dos attacks, then passes the

there's a DOS attack. Saves a ton of cycles.

The difficulty is making it work well, e.g. how do we handle maps?
