[NETFILTER] x_tables: Abstraction layer for {ip,ip6,arp}_tables
This monster-patch tries to do the best job for unifying the data
structures and backend interfaces for the three evil clones ip_tables,
ip6_tables and arp_tables. In an ideal world we would never have
allowed this kind of copy+paste programming... but well, our world
isn't (yet?) ideal.
o introduce a new x_tables module
o {ip,arp,ip6}_tables depend on this x_tables module
o registration functions for tables, matches and targets are only
wrappers around x_tables provided functions
o all matches/targets that are used from ip_tables and ip6_tables
are now implemented as xt_FOOBAR.c files and provide module aliases
to ipt_FOOBAR and ip6t_FOOBAR
o header files for xt_matches are in include/linux/netfilter/,
include/linux/netfilter_{ipv4,ipv6} contains compatibility wrappers
around the xt_FOOBAR.h headers
Based on this patchset we're going to further unify the code,
gradually getting rid of all the layer 3 specific assumptions.
