How are you going to tell whether a feature is present in a non-Linux kernel ?The Linux memory-mapped capture mechanism is not present in a non-Linux kernel, so all the libpcap work involved here would, if necessary on other platforms, have to be done differently on those platforms. Those platforms would have to have their own mechanisms to indicate whether any changes to filter code, processing of VLAN tags supplied out of band, etc. would need to be done. The same would apply to other additional features of the Linux memory-mapped capture mechanism that require changes in libpcap.
