Is the struct ipt_mulitport allocated by ip_tables before the=20
functions are called?

You mean if I change the struct completly I will run into=20
compatibility problems when using new kernel code, but old userspace=20
code?

What about alignment? I need 62 bytes, but it must probably aligned=20
to 64 bytes. Which part is responible for alignment? Iptables or the=20
module code?
