TBH, I've no idea how bpf does anything, so I can't say whether this is
better, overkill or insufficient.
ok. To make it clear:

For the current patch.
Unnecessary checks for no good reason in performance critical
functions are not acceptable.
They aren't unnecessary checks.

Can you please suggest if there's some way more suitable than just killing bpf
entirely?  I don't know the code, and I presume you do.
