These two patches make IP_NF_IPTABLES_LEGACY and IP6_NF_IPTABLES_LEGACY
Kconfigs user selectable, avoiding creating an extra dependency by
enabling some other config that would select IP{6}_NF_IPTABLES_LEGACY.

This needs a v6. There is also:

BRIDGE_NF_EBTABLES_LEGACY

We have more copy and paste in the bridge.

Would you submit a single patch covering this too?

There is also:

# ARP tables
config IP_NF_ARPTABLES
        tristate

which has never had a description. Could you also add?

         arptables is a legacy packet classification.
         This is not needed if you are using arptables over nftables
         (iptables-nft).

There is no need for _LEGACY in this case.

Single patch to update them all should be fine.

Thanks
