The following patches contain an updated version of IPv6 NAT against
Linus' current tree.

The series is organized as follows:

- Patches 01-03 contain bugfixes for SIP helper bugs/regressions
present in the current kernel

- Patches 04-06 improve conntrack fragmentation handling, the IPv6
parts are also a precondition for IPv6 NAT

- Patches 07 and 08 prepare the current NAT code for conversion to
an address family independant core, but contain no functional
changes

- Patch 09 adds the address family independant NAT core and converts
the existing IPv4-only NAT code to an AF-specific module

- Patches 10 and 11 add some infrastructure for IPv6 NAT

- Patch 12 adds IPv6 NAT support

- Patches 13-15 add IPv6 specific NAT targets

- Patches 16-19 add some IPv6-capable ports of existing NAT helpers

- Patch 19 is independant of the IPv6 NAT code and adds support for
stateless IPv6 prefix translation, just to relieve my conscience ;)

Since the last posting numerous bugs have been fixed, I don't remember
all of them, the more important ones include:

- automatic NAT module loading in ctnetlink

- address selection when mapping to IPv6 ranges

- handling of IPv6 fragments

- NAT handling of ICMPv6 error messages

Besides implementing IPv6 NAT, there are no known bugs left. Userspace
patches will follow shortly.
