Great. I do no have closely followed the Linux kernel development lately 
but the need for the 4.19 version in OpenWRT for fastpath forwarding is 
because the SFE code have been upstreamed is that version ?
Or because the latest SFE patches are against that version ?

The only related work that I'm aware of is 
https://github.com/gwlim/Fast-Path-LEDE-OpenWRT but I do not think the 
author have tried to include it upstream.

Cheers.
