Thanks, two problems:

1) Please layout the new skbuff.h structure changes more
   intelligently.  Currently the netfilter stuff is:

	pointer
	u32
	pointer
	u32

   and this wastes a lot of space on 64-bitters.

2) There is no way I'm amicable to exporting __tcp_v4_lookup()
   and friends to modules.

   Are you absolutely sure that the existing scheme cannot
   work properly?  I'm talking about relying upon skb->sk
   being sane.

So what I think I'll do is merge in all the changes other
than the ipt_owner.c change by hand into a tree I'll push
to Linus, I'll also fix the layout ordering problem which
I mentioned above in #1

But something has to be done about the ipt_owner.c change, it
isn't going in as-is.
