   The ip_conntrack_destroyed function pointer is actually an ugly hack so 
that NAT is able to clean up when a conntrack entry is destroyed. So, 
changing that pointer is not allowed if you're using NAT.

   I think you'd need the functionality of ctnetlink's notifier 
registration facility. See POM/extra.
