-------------------------------------
BPF previously introduced special instructions for access to packet data that were
-carried over from classic BPF. However, these instructions are
+carried over from classic BPF. These instructions used an instruction
+class of BPF_LD, a size modifier of BPF_W, BPF_H, or BPF_B, and a
+mode modifier of BPF_ABS or BPF_IND. However, these instructions are
deprecated and should no longer be used. All legacy packet access
instructions belong to the "legacy" conformance group instead of the "basic"
conformance group.
