pseudo-device   bpfilter 1      #Berkeley packet filter
is enabled by default in my GENERIC kernel configurations, atleast in
3.5-s they are.

pseudo-device   bpf             #Berkeley packet filter

unser 4.x, it appears to be enabled by default in the GENERIC kernel
configuration also. 

Whether the system by default uses these is a different story.
