I don't think it would be a big problem.

Something along that line, yeah.

So on a quick glance, we're calling into cls_bpf_classify() in tp->classify()
(net/sched/cls_api.c +265), so all remaining filters in that list we're
traversing in cls_bpf_classify() are all BPF filters, no?

Have to grab some sleep for now, will be on travel tomorrow. Anyway, worst
case it could still be refactored later.
