Subject: [PATCH] iproute2 : fix to catchup with xtables/iptables >= 1.4.2

Sorry for the long CC (copying all stakeholders)

Against latest iproute2 git - fixes breakage found with debian and
certainly with any distro using iptables 1.4.2.

A small depart from the old ipt - to keep in sync with iptable/xtables
changes. The old ipt should continue to work for iptables <1.4.1. And
with this change, no old scripts will break.

[Breakage will happen again (probably by the time we hit iptables 1.4.3)
because xtables is still a moving target. There are quiet a few
functions which really should be part of xtables but are currently not -
I have labelled them in tc/m_xt.c].

cheers,
jamal
