The upcoming code will be a generic replacement, so there's no need to
have ipt_ULOG/ebt_ulog except for backwards compatiblity reasons.
Is there actually a userspace daemon for ebt_ulog? In any case it makes
little sense to allocate a new netlink number for ebt_ulog since it
will break userspace compatiblity anyway.
