leading to the original question why nf_nat_core does not use
nf_ct_l3proto_try_module_get.
Why should it? There's no need for manual module loading since
there already is a symbol dependency.
According to `modinfo nf_nat`, nf_nat does not have a dependency
on nf_conntrack_ipv4.
Right, that was iptable_nat.
So what happens when nf_nat is loaded before nf_conntrack_ipv4?
(Even if there are dependencies, this question is valid)
l3proto will be NULL, and is this ok?
No, it will break when translating ICMP errors.
