well, ILA router was written in BPF already :) Once for tc+clsact
and once for XDP. In both cases no extra bpf helpers were needed.
Due to this use case we added an optimization to be able to do
a map lookup with packet data directly (instead of copying packet
bytes to stack and pointing map_lookup helper to stack).
Looks like those ila router patches never made it to the list.
I'll dig them out and forward.
