Applied, thanks Máté. BTW, can we have automated tests for this?

BTW, now that you have added a prio_spec object, you can place the
struct location there and store the position from the parser, so we
can perform better error reporting, eg.
nft> add chain ip x h { type filter hook prerouting priority first; }
Error: 'first' is invalid priority in this context.
add chain ip x h { type filter hook prerouting priority first; }
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Thanks.
