It was not "due for 5.0" or any subsequent release.  It was requested by
certain developers and I requested that they demonstrate that adding it to
the GENERIC system would not noticeably impact non-PFIL_HOOKS users.

I intend to convert certain network subsystems to use PFIL_HOOKS instead of
their (current) adhoc techniques.  This will mean that PFIL_HOOKS will be a
necessary part of the system and so will be in the GENERIC kernel.
