I want it to land just as much as you do :) Two weeks is not a big deal. We
backport all of bpf and xdp as soon as it lands in bpf-next/net-next. We don't
wait for patches to reach Linus's tree. So this dispatch logic will be running
on our servers way sooner than you'd expect. I guess that explains my obsession
with quality. Same goes for libbpf.
