No, if it's at (BPF_FP - MAX_BPF_STACK), we'll be writing into the BPF
stack area, which should only be used by the BPF program.

Yes, that's the idea. The buffer is allocated in here. Right now we're
using this "reserved" space for this buffer only.

Yes, this diagram reflects the code and intention.


Thanks for reviewing, we definitely need more of these :)
