[Bug] limit match not working on Sparc64

[Anders Fugmann]

The limit match seems to be broken on sparc64 arch. It works on i386.

#iptables -A INPUT -m limit --limit 1/second --limit-burst 3 -j ACCEPT
iptables: Invalid argument

ipt_limit module is loaded.

#uname -a
Linux fw 2.4.21-rc2 #1 Tue May 20 20:14:39 CEST 2003 sparc64 unknown 
unknown GNU/Linux

#iptaiptables v1.2.7a
iptbles --version

More information available on request.

I guess that its the 64bit kernel/32bit user-space that is making the 
module break. If anyone has some pointers on how to fix this, I would be 
glad to try and fix it - Maybe we can get a patch into 2.4.21.

yes, I think there's been discussion about this on the netfilter-devel
list before.
