Ah, yes, good point. Totally didn't think about the fact that load and
attach are decoupled. Hmm, guess I'll just have to move the call to
alloc_default_map() to the point where the program is attached to an
interface, then...

I trust it's safe to skip the allocation in case the program is
offloaded to hardware, right? I.e., an offloaded program will never need
to fall back to the kernel helper?
