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.

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.
