Yeah. Performance numbers would be my main question :)

I think we can ignore XDP chaining for now assuming that Daniel's bpf_link-tc work
will be applicable to XDP as well, so we'll have a simple chaining
for XDP eventually.

As far as attaching to TC... I think it would be great to combine bpfilter
codegen and attach to Florian's bpf hooks exactly at netfilter.
See
https://git.breakpoint.cc/cgit/fw/nf-next.git/commit/?h=nf_hook_jit_bpf_29&id=0c1ec06503cb8a142d3ad9f760b72d94ea0091fa
With nf_hook_ingress() calling either into classic iptable or into bpf_prog_run_nf
which is either generated by Florian's optimizer of nf chains or into
bpfilter generated code would be ideal.
