KCM is not required all sockmap needs is STREAM_PARSER. STREAM_PARSER can
be used outside of KCM so no problem there.

I didn't want to require all users of BPF maps to automatically get
STREAM_PARSER however. I'll add a Kconfig option for STREAM_PARSER so we
can pull it in without KCM easily. This is very similar to how the cgroup
BPF build logic works as well with CONFIG_CGROUP_BPF.

I wanted to get the build fix out though as soon as possible rather than
wait for me to write the STREAM_PARSER patch and test it.

Thanks,
John
