This implements the kernel-space side of the netfilter matcher xt_ipvs.

It seems you could use __u8 for both l4proto and fwd_method
and reduce the match size by 2 bytes.

We're using per-cpu structures for nf_conntrack_untracked in the
current net-next/nf-next tree, so this doesn't work anymore. You
need to use nf_ct_is_untracked() instead.
