Thanks for the test.  I think it's a matter of the kernel version
rather than the CPU vendor.  6.1 or before will fail the check
in the beginning but 6.2 kernel lacks a feature to set sample
flags for some fields and silently accept all samples.  IIRC it's
added in v6.3.

Probably I need to add a version check in the error path.

Thanks,
Namhyung
