I understand. I've send this, because from v5 to v15 it moved towards
matching in the rule, but it all started with the fact that
nft_flow_offload_eval() uses nft_thoff().

At a bare minimum I need to address having pkt->thoff set correctly to
implement the software bridge-fastpath.

The fact that it also makes possible to match L3/L4 data in the rule is
also nice to have.

Hopefully you can take this in consideration during your review.
