No, not yet. I only made sure the newly added tests were easy to modify
to cover UDP by not hard-coding the socket type.
I expect to break ground with UDP work soon, though. Right after I push
out another iteration of programmable socket lookup [1] patches adapted for
SOCKMAP, which we've been testing internally.

Thanks for taking a look at the patches so quickly. I appreciate it.
