Subject: b118509076b3 (probably) breaks my firewall

Just a heads up and a question...

I've pulled the latest and greatest from Linus' tree and built and installed the kernel. git describe gives
v6.0-rc4-126-g26b1224903b3.

I find that my firewall is broken because /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_helper no longer exists. It existed on an
-rc4 kernel. Are changes like this supposed to be introduced at this stage of the -rc cycle?

I'd like to revert the change and see if it fixes things, but I'm tied up for the next 10 days.

Chris
