I'm also considering making a patch that adds iptables support. For that to work, I think it would be a good idea to keep the code that tries to offload flows to hardware in nf_flow_offload.c instead, so that it can be shared with iptables integration. By the way, do you have a git tree where you keep the current version of your patch set?
