> - packets to be filtered using both BPF and ACL-like filters

To me this is all that PF_RING adds, the ACL filter features.

And I see no reason why that can't be added to PF_PACKET, we've
extended PF_PACKET in many ways before (even the mmap ring
buffer layout can be modified trivially) so there is no reason
we can't add the ACL filter feature to PF_PACKET as well.

Adding all of PF_RING just for that is a joke.
