Winsock transport provider for WSL via eBPF for Windows #688

Description

WSL team is currently using 9P to bridge the Linux and Windows sides, but I wonder if the eBPF for Windows architecture could not also support a better way for Windows Apps and Services to leverage Linux networking stack.

I can especially think about leveraging Multipath TCP that will come along with Linux 5.15 kernel, which is almost ready for a upcoming WSL update.

I would see this as implementing a Winsock transport provider on top of eBPF for Windows integrated with eBPF in WSL/Linux kernel

Does it make sense ?
