Thanks for the patches, Ben! Above is actually not the case, e.g. privileged
admin can use something like 'bpftool prog dump xlated id <id>' and then the
BPF insns are dumped to user space for the program /after/ the verification,
so the rewrites can then be seen. test_verifier temporarily drops caps to
load and run the unprivileged cases, but we can extend the test suite to
retrieve and check the final insns after that happened. I think this would be
a nice extension to the test suite for cases like these and would also provide
better insight than verbose() statement saying that something has been
patched (but not the actual result of it).

Thanks,
Daniel
