I don't really think performance metrics are necessary just for adding
SKF_AD_PKTTYPE support, that's sort of an over the top requirement
if you ask me.

It's pretty obvious that we should support as many operations as
possible to each JIT, because all of program has to do is use that
unsupported opcode and then we have none of that program being JIT'd.
