Did you mean replicating the Kuniyuki fix in bpf-next, or just
introducing the intermediate 'reuseport_result' var?

I'm assuming the former, so that the conflict resolving later on will
reduce to selecting everything from bpf-next side.

TBH, I don't what is the preferred way to handle it. Perhaps DaveM or
Alexei/Daniel can say what would make their life easiest?
