Whats the advantage over the existing modules?

I could imagine it is the "less .ko overhead" thing as I tried with xt_REJECT (12 kb, replacing a 24kb ipt_+ip6t_REJECT solution) and xt_ah.

Also, as noticed in http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/12/31/59, modules are aligned at page boundaries, which means

ipt_REJECT.ko 11121 bytes uses up 12288 bytes of RAM.
ip6t_REJECT.ko 12107 bytes also uses up 12288 bytes of RAM.
(All values on x86_32).


Well, don't use module then. Putting everything in one module is
a rather strange way of doing this though :)
