Hi Jan,

I must confess that I'm not familiar with using enum in this way.
Can I confirm that you are suggesting the following?

enum {
	XT_IPVS_IPVS_PROPERTY =	1 << 0, /* all other options imply this one */
	XT_IPVS_PROTO =		1 << 1,
	XT_IPVS_VADDR =		1 << 2,
	XT_IPVS_VPORT =		1 << 3,
	XT_IPVS_DIR =		1 << 4,
	XT_IPVS_METHOD =	1 << 5,
	XT_IPVS_VPORTCTL =	1 << 6,
	XT_IPVS_MASK =		(1 << 7) - 1,
	XT_IPVS_ONCE_MASK =	(XT_IPVS_MASK & ~XT_IPVS_IPVS_PROPERTY)
};
