Currently there's no such module in the src tree. I've encountered the problem
myself when I needed to write a proprietary module for the company I work for.
I've seen prev posts on the subject as well.

hd.

You'll have to carry this patch yourself. Until we need it for something
in the mainline tree, there's no reason to change it.

I posted this patch before. I am glad to see someone has the same
requirement as me. It is useful when implementing ACL. Such as these
statements:

if (x_cond) {
   do_x;
} else if (y_cond) {
  do_y;
} else if (z_cond) {
  do_z;
}

Because the current iptables doesn't support multi-targets, we have to
do this kinds of things in a dirty way.

We don't add changes that are not needed in the mainline kernel itself.
I'm not interested in this change until someone also posts a patch to
actually make use of it.
