Hi folks,

I was accepted to speak a little bit about this patch series at Linux
Security Summit this May [1]. I'm going to use this opportunity to
re-iterate some of the motivation, what can be done today with BPF,
drawbacks, and wrap up with discussion topics. I'd love to hear feedback
from audit, BPF, and security folks to work towards a viable solution that
addresses shortcomings to allow for better integration with BPF.

Best,
Fred
