Generally programming host BPF from guest is a clear win - think DOS
protection. Guest runs logic to detect dos attacks, then passes the
program to host.  Afterwards, host does not need to enter guest if
there's a DOS attack. Saves a ton of cycles.

The difficulty is making it work well, e.g. how do we handle maps?
