there is no ulog2 inside the kernel.  nfnetlink_log is the system that
obsoletes ULOG.  nfnetlink_log transports both, the indev/outdev _and_
the phys{in,out}dev to userspace.

yes, which is the correct behaviour from a technical point of view.

please look at nfnetlink_log.  It supersedes any of the old in-kernel
ulog stuff, and is totally independent of any fixed messages.

Since ipt_ULOG (and as far as my opinion goes, ebt_ulog as well) is
scheduled for feature removal,  I will not apply your patch.
