Sorry, this is my fault.  It means that the module will fail to load,
which is why it doesn't work for you.  "ports" is no longer required for
the NAT module as it is intuited from the settings on the conntrack
module.

It would be nice to add a patch to re-include the ports param, but print
a "no longer neccessary" warning when it's used.  And similarly with the
other NAT helper modules.
