I have pushed these two patches to the 'nftnl' branch in both cases:

http://git.netfilter.org/nftables/commit/?h=nftnl&id=830693fe7b02aae554178dfd7220b6e779434eef
http://git.netfilter.org/iptables/commit/?h=nftnl&id=7babe09c9cfaa288c8502613340c9b35b29617bc

They are adapting the code to use the new symbols in libnftnl. They
are slightly large, so I preferred to send it in this way.
