There is an "intermediate solution" from Hasan which doesnt require
the kernel change. It changes the kernel endpoint to "ipt". I am
conflicted because it is a quick hack while otoh forcing people to
upgrade kernel is a usability issue.

Attached. Author is Hasan - I didnt sign it because i am looking for
feedback and i find it distasteful but it solves the problem.
This is needed until we have a proper fix in the kernel propagated.
Once that kernel change is ubiquitous this change is noise and a
maintanance pain. I am making it hard to even turn it on
(i.e someone knowledgeable will have to compile with CONFIG_XT_HACK)

cheers,
