A function with weird arguments that it will never use to accomdate a netfilter callback prototype is absolutely in the core of the networking stack. Frankly it does not make sense and it causes a lot of confusion as to why arguments that are never used are being passed to the function. As I am preparing to make a second change to arguments to the okfn even the names stops making sense. As I have removed the two callers of this function remove this confusion from the networking stack. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
