Should I add code to enable the JIT compiler to libpcap while I'm at it?

Should the Linux kernel folks enable it by default?

I'm inclined to answer "yes" to all three questions.  I think the FreeBSD JIT compiler is enabled by default.  I'm surprised that the Linux one isn't.
I checked in the dumpcap code. I agree that it might be useful in libpcap too, root privileges are required to 
change it I think. and Yes
