[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.

+config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_CLASSIFY
+ tristate '"CLASSIFY" target support'
+ depends on NETFILTER_XTABLES
+ help
+ This option adds a `CLASSIFY' target, which enables the user to set
+ the priority of a packet. Some qdiscs can use this value for
+ classification, among these are:
+
+ atm, cbq, dsmark, pfifo_fast, htb, prio
+
+ To compile it as a module, choose M here. If unsure, say N.

+ the connection mark value. Similar to the MARK target, but
+ affects the connection mark value rather than the packet mark value.
+
+ If you want to compile it as a module, say M here and read

+
+config NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_MARK
+ tristate '"MARK" target support'
+ depends on NETFILTER_XTABLES
+ help
+ This option adds a `MARK' target, which allows you to create rules
+ in the `mangle' table which alter the netfilter mark (nfmark) field
+ associated with the packet prior to routing. This can change
+ the routing method (see `Use netfilter MARK value as routing
+ key') and can also be used by other subsystems to change their
+ behavior.

+ internet links or tunnels.

+
+config NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_DCCP

+ limit matching allows you to control the rate at which a rule can be
