    netfilter: conntrack: remove l3proto abstraction · a0ae2562
    Florian Westphal authored
    This unifies ipv4 and ipv6 protocol trackers and removes the l3proto
    abstraction.
    
    This gets rid of all l3proto indirect calls and the need to do
    a lookup on the function to call for l3 demux.
    
    It increases module size by only a small amount (12kbyte), so this reduces
    size because nf_conntrack.ko is useless without either nf_conntrack_ipv4
    or nf_conntrack_ipv6 module.
