Description
### Describe the feature you'd like supported
As noted in my ebpf summit talk https://ebpf.io/summit-2022 on "Signed eBPF Programs: A Cross-Platform Analysis", the gatekeeper concept would apply to Windows.
### Proposed solution
A gatekeeper hook would ideally need to run prior to relocation, which today is done in ebpfsvc. That means either a gatekeeper needs to run in ebpfsvc or else make a kernel call to run the gatekeeper in the kernel execution context, prior to submitting the program to the kernel.
### Additional context
_No response_
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing the existing program submission and relocation path through ebpfsvc and the kernel-facing entry points. Define where a gatekeeper can run before relocation and document or implement the selected path, with coverage showing that gatekeeper processing occurs before the program is submitted to the kernel.
