Not right now. It's from many months ago. It's just a script I could find
easily.

There are some issues e.g. w/ lossy updates which should be fixed from BPF
side but we do run BPF on every single packet and IO on most of our
machines, so basing this argument on whether tracking all memory allocations
from BPF is possible is probably not a winning strategy for this proposal.

Thanks.
