I would use:

        raw
        mangle
        dstnat
        filter
        security
        srcnat

for the priority tags.

Interesting code, this chain_prio2str_helper() function.

'tp' is the offset, right?

'origo' is the standard priority, right? I would rename this to
standard_prio.

'e' looks like the reach for approximate matching, so I would rename
it to 'reach'. This is a fixed value, 10 in this patch, so better
define a constant with a meaningful name. Any reason for choosing 10,
BTW? Don't worry, I understand this may be just an arbitrary value you
just picked.

Probably place this in an array and loop over it.

Any way we can avoid defining tokens?
