Re: [PATCHv4 net-next 00/15] BPF hardware offload (cls_bpf for now)

In the last year a lot of progress have been made on offloading
simpler TC classifiers.  There is also growing interest in using
BPF for generic high-speed packet processing in the kernel.
It seems beneficial to tie those two trends together and think
about hardware offloads of BPF programs.  This patch set presents
such offload to Netronome smart NICs.  cls_bpf is extended with
hardware offload capabilities and NFP driver gets a JIT translator
which in presence of capable firmware can be used to offload
the BPF program onto the card.

Looks great! Thanks for all the hard work.
