Just sent a patch to kill that compat code. It is also missing new
supported layer 4 protocols, as well as IPv6. We have too many
interfaces already, actually I'd be happy to kill nf_conntrack sysctl
entries at some point and leave just the ctnetlink interface.

I'm attaching an incomplete patch that moves nf_conntrack_get_ht() as
inline. It applies on top of:

        http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/658620/

Feel free to take it over and finish it. Thanks.

OK. Will be happy to follow up on this:)

Thanks.
