sure, but the program will run and the test can validate that the program
saw valid packet, parsed it correctly and returned correct dissection.
The results can be stored in a map and validated by the test.
iirc you were saying that you'll have one program doing dissection
for with-skb and skb-less cases.
I think it's important to have such program in selftests and being
run continuously for both cases.
