For a while now, I thought about renaming nf_inet_addr to inet_addr
(or something else), as this inet_addr compound comes in handy not
only in Netfilter, but also, for example, in xfrm.
(xfrm_address_t in <linux/xfrm.h>)
Then, userspace could start with using inet_addr (instead of doing
the nf_inet_addr fix now) and avoid the clutterance.
Opinions?
