Classifier is just an infra I had used and it definitely remains as it's part 
of the core code - and I actually still use it in a trivial way to hook into 
the L2 datapath.

We don't have the same nodes for l2 and l3, rather the same code in the nodes 
serving the acl plugin l2 and l3 (and also no split between new session node / 
existing session node) take a look at fa_node.c in the src/plugins/acl 
directory to see in more details.

But the reflected sessions for ACL plugin from 1704 onwards are stored in a 
bihash, with the lookup done on a 5-tuple extracted from the packet. This 
allows to support IPv6 extension headers, and also keep a single table for both 
"in" and "out" direction, so memory usage should be gentler compared to 1701.

I kept the ability to fallback to the "old" ACL plugin  data-path nodes in 1704 
as a potential contingency measure, but in master only the new datapath nodes 
remain.
