Yes, that is nice. I assume though that a bpf reader will get its own
packets back though (if they pass the filter).

I wonder, by the way, why this patch is adding code in ether_output() in
if_ethersubr.c. I was thinking to add some code (much like this) in
bpf_write() in bpf.c, near the call to (*ifp->if_output)(). That would
only inspect packets injected into bpf, not all outgoing packets to all
interfaces.
