Wait a sec - this *can't* work since all the if_*.c code is stuffed
with '#include bpfilter.h'and '#if NBPFILTER > 0' conditionals which
will never work unless they're converted to '#include "bpf.h"' and
'#if NBPF > 0', which would break backwards compatibility....

Solutions:
 a) back out
 b) transition everything (breaks POLA)
 c) hack config to generate bpfilter.h for bpf (ugly)

Sigh... I guess it's a).
