This was transparent in the previously posted patch "ila: Add support
for netfilter NF_INET_PRE_ROUTING hook", but there was significant
pushback that NF interface was not intended for this purpose. Using an
IP tables target like this should preserve the sanctity of the
interfaces and does provide nice performance improvement since
PREROUTING is done before early demux. The NF_INET_PRE_ROUTING hook is
still better performance though and what we are using internally (just
an incremental change on top of these patches).
