Log:
Added the ability in PF_RING to push filtering rule into the kernel via DAQ.

This means that when a packet received by snort is marked as bad (the whole 
flow and not just the packet)
PF_RING will not forward snort those packets belonging to the connection being 
dropped. This results in
a great performance bump of snort, that is not responsible to wasting CPU 
cycles with flows that PF_RING
has already stopped.
