No. I'm open to good suggestion how this could be handled. The only not
too hackish solution I could thing of so far is to have one of the
pfilter points in the upper parts of the stack, if the packet is not dropped
by the filter, use the incoming interface pointer and set a "last accepted
traffic" timestamp on that interface.
