Ok, thanks. I am going to try another version of this with just a system wide
BPF JIT limit based on the problems Jann brought up. I think it would be nice to
have a module space limit, but as far as I know the only way today un-privlidged
users could fill the space is from BPF JIT. Unless you see another purpose long
term?
