I've removed this above from the patch. I prefer not to add confusing
information (this means you'll have to rebase, sorry).

Applied. Thanks.
BTW, did you consider using an array for ipvs->ip_vs_proto_table?
I think a hash table for only 5 protocols is overkill. I know, we'll
consume more memory but lookups will definitely be faster, but it will
consume a bit more memory (the space-time tradeoff again).
