I think this can be candidate to be included once some comestical
issues are fixed.

we can live without that extra line above.

better define this NLMSG_MAX_SIZE inside xt_IDLETIMER.c, this header
is exported to user-space and that definition is not useful.

you have to define two structures:

struct idletimer_tg_info
struct idletimer_tg_info_v1

and register both revisions. This (rudimentary) mechanism allows us to
keep backward compatibility.

See net/netfilter/xt_socket.c for instance.

AFAICS, this seems to fix the case in which timer has expired and we
refresh it without sending the notification.

Should go in a different patch.

Interesting, they are really using this with arptables?
