    [NETFILTER]: xt_helper match, revision 1
Introduces the xt_helper match revision 1. It uses fixed types, and
    its structure size has been adjusted.
The xt_helper revision 0 structure had an odd size of 34 bytes. I
    changed this into 32 bytes, which probably plays much better with
    cachelines. The invert flag is also shrunk so now there is an
    additional byte available for the name as a side effect.


Is there any real advantage in doing this? There aren't any
compatibility issues, so it seems a bit pointless to add a
new revision for this minor layout change.
