The comment is a bit confus(ed|ing).  The problem is:

tc filter add <filter1> skip_sw
tc filter add <filter2> skip_hw

If packet appears in the stack - was it because of OK or UNSPEC (or
RECLASSIFY) in filter1?  Do we need to run filter2 or not?  Passing
tc_index can be implemented the same way I do mark today.

I do the redirects in the card, all the problems stem from the
difficulty of passing full ret code in the skb from the driver
to tc_classify()/cls_bpf_classify().
