Yes, but you don't have to write the stuff with these intrinsics and cBPF.
This was done in gluon-radv-filterd only to avoid extra dependencies to 
build the program for this really minimal piece of code.
And I didn't had much benefits from using eBPF at the moment [1].

You can just write it in C and use clang to create (e)BPF bytecode as 
described in http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/tc-bpf.8.html

Kind regards,
