Wouldn't it make sense to introduce some safeguards here (in a backward
compatible way, of course)? It's easy to mistakenly set data for a
different tunnel type in a BPF program and then be surprised by the
result. It might help users if such usage was detected by the kernel,
one way or another.

I'm thinking about something like the BPF program voluntarily
specifying the type of the data; if not specified, the wildcard would be
used as it is now.
