I am not objecting, but I wonder if anyone can shed light on
what fraction of machines/kernels are in the following categories:
don't have PFIL_HOOKS because they care about performance
don't have PFIL_HOOKS and don't care
dot have PFIL_HOOKS and don't need them
do have PFIL_HOOKS and do need them
for a machine which is just forwarding, and doesn't need firewalling
or anything else, how does having PFIL_HOOKS with no actual hooks
change performance?
