rS366461: devfs.rules: unhide pf in vnet jails
Summary

/dev/pf is usable in vnet jails, so don't hide the node there.

We shouldn't expose /dev/pf in regular jails, as that gives them control
over the host (or parent vnet jail) firewall.

Did we ever fix this one?

005: SECURITY FIX: December 17, 2010 All architectures
Insufficent initialization of the pf rule structure in the ioctl handler may allow userland to modify kernel memory. By default root privileges are needed to add or modify pf rules.

Oh wow, and not even I could remember that ... Good to know I can finally forget about it for real ;-)

We'll probably want to add more of these in the future for vnets, so happy we start to lay the grounds.
Will you work on jail/jail.conf to also pick the right set for devfs depending on whether the vnet option is given? If not you should given @jamie a ping6.

jail (and ezjail) already make it possible to set the desired devise rules, so in that respect it's already done.
jail defaults to devfsrules_jail (i.e. 4). We could potentially teach it to automatically use 5 for vnet jails, but I'm a little lost in how jail works myself.
