The patchset is based on the patches from David S. Miller [1] and
Daniel Borkmann [2].

The main goal of the patchset is to prepare bpfilter for
iptables' configuration blob parsing and code generation.

The referenced patches are from 2018.  Since then, and since this is
bpf-next, places like [1] indicate that we are moving on from iptables
towards nftables.

Any thoughts?

I'm not sure what kind of thoughts you expect.

If your question is why to use an outdated interface the answer
is - this is just a starting point and nothing prevents us from
having our own interface in future .
