Hi,

One question about this.

If the motion for these hooks in the driver is to match for 'oif vrf',
now that there is an egress hook, it might make more sense to filter
from there based on the interface rather than adding these hook calls
from the vrf driver?

I wonder if, in the future, it makes sense to entirely disable these
hooks in the vrf driver and rely on egress hook?
