The pack allocator only flushes predictors when reusing a dirty pack for cBPF, eBPF allocations never trigger a flush. Currently, eBPF picks the first free pack, which could be a clean pack. As an optimization, leaving a clean pack for cBPF can avoid flushes. Prefer dirty packs for eBPF and keep clean packs free for cBPF. This mirrors the existing cBPF preference for clean packs: each program kind prefers the pack that avoids an extra flush, and falls back to the other kind only when no preferred pack has room. eBPF reuse of a dirty pack is harmless since eBPF being privileged does not flush.
