I haven't thought about the subject too much, so some of this may
be lack of understanding on my side - but anyway, here are a few quick
remarks:

 - I don't think it is PCF's business to mark packets - this may just
   be a misunderstanding or unclear language. The packet filter marks
   packets with tags, but PCF is the one to dictacte the content of the
   tag.

 - A nic or other driver will then be able to interpret some mbuf tags,
   and use the "right" queue for the tag internally.

 - The tag-token matching does not need a grammar (AFAICT), but is only
   a convention which names to use in the PF configuration so that a
   nic driver can do the right things.

 - I did not understand the whole /dev/pcf/<if_name> thing - I don't
   think anything like that will be needed.

 - There should not be a new token field in mbufs, just use m_tag(9)
