Let's keep it simple to start.
Priorities or anything fancy can be added later if really necessary.
Otherwise, I'm afraid, we will go into endless bikeshedding
or the best priority scheme.

A link list of bpf progs like cls_bpf with the same semantics as
cls_bpf_classify.
With prog->exts_integrated always true and no classid, since this
concept doesn't apply.
