Hi Willem, I have applied this patch to my nf-next tree with minor changes. You'll get also another review asap for the iptables user-space part, we have more time to get that into shape anyway.

This filter above to be possible confusion. That filter is using the link layer as base. I think the expressivity of BPF is enough to justify its inclusion into mainline. I also added a line notice on the artificial limitation to 64 instructions per filter.
