looking at the code.. how do we ensure that code running through
bpf_prog_run_xdp will not get dispatcher image changed while
it's being exetuted
we use 'the other half' of the image when we add/remove programs,
but could bpf_dispatcher_update race with bpf_prog_run_xdp like:
cpu 0: cpu 1:
bpf_prog_run_xdp
...
bpf_dispatcher_xdp_func
start exec image at offset 0x0
bpf_dispatcher_update
update image at offset 0x800
bpf_dispatcher_update
update image at offset 0x0
still in image at offset 0x0
that might explain why I wasn't able to trigger that on
bare metal just in qemu
