Might be worth mentioning that FreeBSD has been using this approach for years.

Links? I can't find any JIT compiler in the FreeBSD kernel, at least skimming code in sys/net/bpf.c or bpf_filter.c.
I'd be interested in this because I'm looking for a tiny JIT compiler. MyJIT is the best I can find so far, but it can't recover from OOM errors and it's quite large, which means I'm too lazy to fix it.

See http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/net/bpf_jitter.c and http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/amd64/amd64/bpf_jit_mach....
It was introduced six years ago, with this commit:
r153151 | jkim | 2005-12-06 03:58:12 +0100 (Tue, 06 Dec 2005) | 17 lines
Add experimental BPF Just-In-Time compiler for amd64 and i386.
Use the following kernel configuration option to enable:
options BPF_JITTER
If you want to use bpf_filter() instead (e. g., debugging), do:
sysctl net.bpf.jitter.enable=0
to turn it off.
Currently BIOCSETWF and bpf_mtap2() are unsupported, and bpf_mtap() is
Obtained from: WinPcap 3.1 (for i386)
