in first line to ease grep games.

This provides safety against negative optlen at the type
level instead of depending upon (sometimes non-trivial)
checks against this sprinkled all over the the place, in
each and every implementation.

Based upon work done by Arjan van de Ven and feedback
from Linus Torvalds.

Now that dev_net() exists, the usefullness of them is even less. Also they're
a big problem in resolving circular header dependencies necessary for
NOTRACK-in-netns patch. See below.

The netfilter subsystem only supports a handful of protocols (much
less than PF_*) and even non-PF protocols like ARP and
pseudo-protocols like PF_BRIDGE. By creating NFPROTO_*, we can earn a
few memory savings on arrays that previously were always PF_MAX-sized
and keep the pseudo-protocols to ourselves.

Greg Steuck &lt;greg@nest.cx&gt; points out that some of the netfilter
headers can't be used in userspace without including linux/types.h
first. The headers include their own linux/types.h include statements,
these are stripped by make headers-install because they are inside
#ifdef __KERNEL__ however. Move them out to fix this.

Reported and Tested by Greg Steuck.

Move the UDP-Lite conntrack checksum validation to a generic helper
similar to nf_checksum() and make it fall back to nf_checksum()
in case the full packet is to be checksummed and hardware checksums
are available. This is to be used by DCCP conntrack, which also
needs to verify partial checksums.

<title>[NETFILTER]: ip_tables: per-netns FILTER/MANGLE/RAW tables for real</title>

Commit 9335f047fe61587ec82ff12fbb1220bcfdd32006 aka
"[NETFILTER]: ip_tables: per-netns FILTER, MANGLE, RAW"
added per-netns _view_ of iptables rules. They were shown to user, but
ignored by filtering code. Now that it's possible to at least ping loopback,
per-netns tables can affect filtering decisions.

netns is taken in case of
	PRE_ROUTING, LOCAL_IN -- from in device,
	POST_ROUTING, LOCAL_OUT -- from out device,
	FORWARD -- from in device which should be equal to out device's netns.
		   This code is relatively new, so BUG_ON was plugged.

Wrappers were added to a) keep code the same from CONFIG_NET_NS=n users
(overwhelming majority), b) consolidate code in one place -- similar
changes will be done in ipv6 and arp netfilter code.

Properly add parens around the macro argument. This is not needed by
the kernel but the macro is exported to userspace, so it shouldn't
make any assumptions.

Also use NF_VERDICT_BITS instead of NF_VERDICT_QBTIS for the left-shift
since thats whats logically correct.
