Yes, I have that. And meld's 3-way diff really turns out to be big help 
for such a work.

Because after 4.1 they changed a lot of other internals, e.g. added a 
structure to mbuf->pktheader
(http://grok.x12.su/source/xref/openbsd/sys/sys/mbuf.h#m_pkthdr#104). At 
the end this turns out to be what the doubling in pf performance comes 
from and my final goal is to go there (and finally 4.6 or 4.7). But for 
now I think 3+something years of patches is a big enough task already.
