Two arguments for combining the two:
- xt_mark is pretty useless without xt_MARK
- the actual code is so small anyway that the kmod metadata and the module
in its loaded state totally outweighs the combined actual code size.

Netfilter traditionally uses BSD integer types in its
interface headers. This changes it to use the Linux
strict integer types, like everyone else.

Introduces the xt_mark match revision 1. It uses fixed types,
eventually obsoleting revision 0 some day (uses nonfixed types).

This monster-patch tries to do the best job for unifying the data
structures and backend interfaces for the three evil clones ip_tables,
ip6_tables and arp_tables. In an ideal world we would never have
allowed this kind of copy+paste programming... but well, our world
isn't (yet?) ideal.
o introduce a new x_tables module
o {ip,arp,ip6}_tables depend on this x_tables module
o registration functions for tables, matches and targets are only
wrappers around x_tables provided functions
o all matches/targets that are used from ip_tables and ip6_tables
are now implemented as xt_FOOBAR.c files and provide module aliases
to ipt_FOOBAR and ip6t_FOOBAR
o header files for xt_matches are in include/linux/netfilter/,
include/linux/netfilter_{ipv4,ipv6} contains compatibility wrappers
around the xt_FOOBAR.h headers
Based on this patchset we're going to further unify the code,
gradually getting rid of all the layer 3 specific assumptions.
