If you want to implement an optional ACL for ports, which allows delegating
specific ports to a specific group (!), that would be fine for me.

It should be fast enough to not effect normal speed and the representation
of the ACL should not need 64k*4 byte memory. E.g. a two stage directory
similiar to the page table should be fine.

Changes should work by assigning net.inet.portacl.%d the group id and sysctl
should at least listen the !-1 groups (which means no group set).
