bpfilter was supposed to convert iptables filtering rules into BPF programs on the fly, from the kernel, through a usermode helper. The base code for the UMH was introduced in 2018, and couple of attempts (2, 3) tried to introduce the BPF program generate features but were abandoned. bpfilter now sits in a kernel tree unused and unusable, occasionally causing confusion amongst Linux users (4, 5). As bpfilter is now developed in a dedicated repository on GitHub (6), it was suggested a couple of times this year (LSFMM/BPF 2023, LPC 2023) to remove the deprecated kernel part of the project. This is the purpose of this patch.
