It seems you didn't test this patch.

# python nft-test.py ip6/rt.t

/home/pablo/devel/scm/git-netfilter/nftables/tests/py/ip6/rt.t.payload.ip6:
ERROR: line 2: did not find payload information for rule 'rt type 0 reserved 2'
ip6/rt.t: ERROR: line 48: src/nft add rule --debug=netlink ip6 test-ip6 input rt type 0 reserved 2: This rule should not have failed.
ip6/rt.t: 39 unit tests, 1 error, 0 warning

There's a README file under tests/py folder that explains how the test
infrastructure works.

Anyway, you also have to perform basic testing by hand on your
patches.

Thanks!
