Sure you can do all that good stuff in your own action.

Use the u32 classifier like so:
on dev eth0, if you see some magic signature on udp described as ...
then action my pktgen action.

Thats not needed. You should be able to attach a u32 classifier to any
device of your choice.

Refer to above - i dont think you do need to put any flag in a device.
