of course!
We already have samples/bpf/test_maps.c that stresses map
access from user space and lib/test_bpf.c that stress JIT
and interpreter from the kernel.
Looking at your test, I think it doesn't buy as much doing it
from the kernel?
If so, I think would be great to add it to test_maps.c

Will read it more carefully tomorrow.
