Yea, seems reasonable. I need to get a local syzkaller instance set up
for customization and then start patching the things that seem to be
standing in the way. Either way, so long as there isn't some
implementation issue or logical problem getting in the way of calling
that codepath, I'm satisfied in knowing that syzkaller will get there
eventually.
