I do object a bit to an mbuf flag being assigned for something that 
is protocol specific.
ipfw is an IP specific thing.

ipfw in bridging is a hack that should have been done differently.
is should be 'macfw' with an option to firther call ipfw of the protocol
turns out to be ip. Each protcol should have the oportunity to
supply their own firewall. the current method has been apractical forst
step but it needs to be ripped out and re-implemented properly.

We are breaking layers all over the place.
