I believe eBPF could be useful for thinks like file system filters. But an important missing feature would be the ability to queue workitems for async processing. This is needed for processing IO operations.

bpf on Linux exposes timer support: bpf: Introduce BPF timers. [LWN.net] and queueing a work item is essentially a 0-duration timer.
