Getting it to compile is kind of important since it was preventing me
from completing the build for iproute2 as I had another fix I needed to
test.

If you have some test case you want me to run just let me know.  All I
did here is revert the changes that I believe were made incorrectly for
versions prior to 1.4.10 in "iproute2: act_ipt fix xtables breakage". 
It states it was fixing it for versions starting in 1.4.10 which I am
assuming is the XTABLES_VERSION_CODE >= 6 case so it should not have
modified the 3 parameter case for versions prior to 6 which is what I
corrected.

Thanks,

Alex
