This patch introduces nf_conntrack_l4proto_find_get() and
nf_conntrack_l4proto_put() to fix module dependencies between
timeout objects and l4-protocol conntrack modules.
Thus, we make sure that the module cannot be removed if it is
used by any of the cttimeout objects.

This patch allows you to attach the timeout policy via the
CT target, it adds a new revision of the target to ensure
backward compatibility. Moreover, it also contains the glue
code to stick the timeout object defined via nfnetlink_cttimeout
to the given flow.
Example usage (it requires installing the nfct tool and
libnetfilter_cttimeout):
1) create the timeout policy:
nfct timeout add tcp-policy0 inet tcp \
established 1000 close 10 time_wait 10 last_ack 10
2) attach the timeout policy to the packet:
iptables -I PREROUTING -t raw -p tcp -j CT --timeout tcp-policy0
You have to install the following user-space software:
a) libnetfilter_cttimeout:
git://git.netfilter.org/libnetfilter_cttimeout
b) nfct:
git://git.netfilter.org/nfct
You also have to get iptables with -j CT --timeout support.

This patch adds the timeout extension, which allows you to attach
specific timeout policies to flows.
This extension is only used by the template conntrack.

This patch adds the infrastructure to add fine timeout tuning
over nfnetlink. Now you can use the NFNL_SUBSYS_CTNETLINK_TIMEOUT
subsystem to create/delete/dump timeout objects that contain some
specific timeout policy for one flow.
The follow up patches will allow you attach timeout policy object
to conntrack via the CT target and the conntrack extension
infrastructure.
