Looks like a lot of code duplication with cls_fw, is there any way to
reuse the code?

And I wonder if it is time to introduce a filter to match multiple skb
fields, as adding a filter for each skb field clearly does not scale.
Perhaps something like:

$TC filter add dev $DEV1 parent ffff: protocol ip prio 3 handle X skb \
hash Y mark Z flowid 1:12

Thanks.
