Subject: bpf and local lock

Thomas,

I am working on eliminating the explicit softirq disables around BPF
program invocation and replacing it with local lock usage instead.

We would really need to at least have the non-RT stubs upstream to
propagate this cleanly, do you think this is possible?

Thanks!
