I mean that it isn't binary compatible; if somebody compile a kernel
after this change, they'll also have to re-compile ipfw.

After reading your comments, I'm still not certain if this is the
case.  They sounded like they _might_ be implementable without
changing the kernel<->userland interface.

So - _do_ this break ipfw binary compatibility (apart from people not
being able to use the extensions with the old binaries, of course)?
