I think at some point, we could perhaps do a section 7 page
with a general overview of the engine and where it can be
applied, and let the syscall page partially refer to it so
that it doesn't get too long. So far, we tried to squeeze
everything into Documentation/networking/filter.txt, and that
itself is quite long already.
