em_ipt: add support for addrtype
We would like to be able to use the addrtype from tc for ACL rules and
em_ipt seems the best place to add support for the already existing xt
match. The biggest issue is that addrtype revision 1 (with ipv6 support)
is NFPROTO_UNSPEC and currently em_ipt can't differentiate between v4/v6
if such xt match is used because it passes the match's family instead of
the packet one. The first 3 patches make em_ipt match only on IP
traffic (currently both policy and addrtype recognize such traffic
only) and make it pass the actual packet's protocol instead of the xt
match family when it's unspecified. They also add support for NFPROTO_UNSPEC
xt matches. The last patch allows to add addrtype rules via em_ipt.
We need to keep the user-specified nfproto for dumping in order to be
compatible with libxtables, we cannot dump NFPROTO_UNSPEC as the nfproto
or we'll get an error from libxtables, thus the nfproto is limited to
ipv4/ipv6 in patch 03 and is recorded.
v3: don't use the user nfproto for matching, only for dumping, more
information is available in the commit message in patch 03
v2: change patch 02 to set the nfproto only when unspecified and drop
patch 04 from v1 (Eyal Birger)
