      netfilter: revert user-space expectation helper support · 9bf04646
      Pablo Neira Ayuso authored
      This patch partially reverts:
      3d058d7b netfilter: rework user-space expectation helper support
      that was applied during the 3.2 development cycle.
      
      After this patch, the tree remains just like before patch bc01befd
      
      ,
      that initially added the preliminary infrastructure.
      
      I decided to partially revert this patch because the approach
      that I proposed to resolve this problem is broken in NAT setups.
      Moreover, a new infrastructure will be submitted for the 3.3.x
      development cycle that resolve the existing issues while
      providing a neat solution.
      
      Since nobody has been seriously using this infrastructure in
      user-space, the removal of this feature should affect any know
      FOSS project (to my knowledge).
