My (very own personal) preference in general would be that we test / assert
the kernel behavior that exists /today/, meaning once we implement support
for multi-record peek we add the corresponding test case along with that
code. Fwiw, this practice would be consistent with the rest of the kernel
selftests development model we have under net (& bpf).

Thanks,
Daniel
