[PATCH] ng_pf and l7 filtering possibility with PF

[Ermal Luçi]

Alexander,

the only reason i made them available only for debugging is cause of
int32_t types of those counter  and these could overflow easily on
busy environments.
For 64bit counters on 32bit archs you need atomic operations and i
don't know how much overhead it will be!?(correct me if i am wrong)
