Re: netfilter 00/29: Netfilter Update

the following patches contain part 1 of the netfilter updates for 2.6.29.
The highlights are:

- netns support for ebtables, ipt_addrtype and some related cleanups from
  Alexey Dobriyan

- ctnetlink updates from Pablo: automatic helper module loading, proper
  event generation for actions performed through ctnetlink, minor cleanups

- switching of xt_NFLOG to directly use nfnetlink_log as backend instead
  of the first loaded logging module, which was a constant source of
  confusion for users. From Eric Leblond. Also from Eric are two patches
  to support rerouting based on packet marks in nfnetlink_queue.

- Misc cleanups and minor fixes from myself, Andy Whitcroft, Simon Arlot
  and Ingo Molnar.


There's a trivial merge conflict in net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_netlink.c,
so the patches won't apply directly. Please pull from

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kaber/nf-next-2.6.git
Pulled and pushed out to net-next-2.6, thanks Patrick!
