Hi Dave,

following is a single netfilter patch for 2.6.28, fixing incorrect
ctnetlink NAT attribute definitions that break common userspace
attribute parsing code.

Please apply, thanks.

commit 492092c2b1fc3d74b24d8744ba419dbcefadaf5e

    netfilter: ctnetlink: fix missing CTA_NAT_SEQ_UNSPEC
    
    This patch fixes an inconsistency in nfnetlink_conntrack.h that
    I introduced myself. The problem is that CTA_NAT_SEQ_UNSPEC is
    missing from enum ctattr_natseq. This inconsistency may lead to
    problems in the message parsing in userspace (if the message
    contains the CTA_NAT_SEQ_* attributes, of course).
    
    This patch breaks backward compatibility, however, the only known
    client of this code is libnetfilter_conntrack which indeed crashes
    because it assumes the existence of CTA_NAT_SEQ_UNSPEC to do
    the parsing.
    
    The CTA_NAT_SEQ_* attributes were introduced in 2.6.25.
