Simple example:
$ tc qdisc add dev eth0 ingress
$ tc filter add dev eth0 parent ffff: protocol ip pref 33 flower dst_mac 52:54:00:3d:c7:6d action goto chain 11
$ tc filter add dev eth0 parent ffff: protocol ip pref 22 chain 11 flower dst_ip 192.168.40.1 action drop
$ tc filter show dev eth0 root

Interesting.

I don't look into the code yet. If I understand the concepts correctly,
so with your patchset we can mark either filter with a chain No. to
choose which chain it belongs to _logically_ even though
_physically_ it is still in the old-fashion chain (prio, proto)?

You have to see the code :)

I don't understand why I have to, these are high-level concepts
and should be put in your cover letter (aka. design doc). You miss
a lot of information about the ordering here.

Well, the description is one thing, but seeing the actual code should
put the whole view. But if you are missing something, I can add it. What
do you mean by "information about the ordering"?

By ordering, I mean:

1) before your patch, filters are ordered by prio and categorized by proto

2) after your patch, we can jump from one filter to a specified one, how
does this work or not work with the prio/proto?

No, you can jump to another chain. And that chain is also ordered by
prio/proto.

Just imagine currently you have only chain 0. This patchset just extends
for other chains.
