The patch looks good to me. The only concern I have is a potential
performance regression. Are any of these allocations happening on really
hot paths? From a very brief look it seems like the answer is no,
but I'm not well familiar with the netfilter code. Would be nice to
have a confirmation from somebody working on the netfilter.
We are roughly talking about x2 slower memory allocations, which
is usually not a problem at all, given that allocations are still
very cheap.

Please, feel free to add my
