I don't want to apply this for the same reason why I un-scheduled
ip_queue of removal:
- the compat layer doesn't work (look at the code, it simply
does nothing)
- the old library is statically linked, so its not a drop-in
replacement
- the compat library only works (theoretically) with
nfnetlink_queue, so you can't write an application
that works on both old and new kernels
