No, there is no code exercising BPF iterator in that PR yet (since it wouldn't
build/run in CI). There's some code I have locally that uses these to collect
the necessary information, I can post that, either as a sample or selftest in
the next version, or separately on GH for you to take a look.

I still rebased it so that you can see the rest of the actual code.
