I don't know if any of you does follow this list but this code seems
properly written and can be extended to communicate with PF/ALTQ
system to give a possible traffic filtering/shaping opportuinity on
Layer2.

It can be easily modified to just forward/tag packets to/for PF if
that is needed.
Since it uses pfil(9) framework maybe an order of loading might be
needed for correct functionality.

What do you guys think of this?

Sure, the idea is sound.  Feel free to extend pfSense to allow this
functionality and we'll consider importing it.
