>Description:
IPFilter on FreeBSD-5 can't be dynamically loaded without  PFIL_HOOKS option in kernel. It will break upgrades from FreeBSD-4, where ipfilter modules can be loaded dynamically without any kernel options.

# PFIL_HOOKS enables an abtraction layer which is meant to be used in
# network code where filtering is required.  See the pfil(9) man page.
# This option is a subset of the IPFILTER option.


This option adds a very little piece of code. Please include this option in GENERIC kernel (it is also possible to remove this option in dokern.sh to reduce kernel size)
