This origins in netkit_xmit(). If my memory serves me, then Daniel told
me that netkit is not doing any redirect and therefore does not need
"this". This must have been during one of the first "designs"/ versions.

If you are saying, that this is possible then something must be done.
Either assign a context or reject the bpf program.
