Small suggestion for improvement (don't worry, your series
is fine :)): the best ordering for all these patches would
have been:

Set 1: boolean conversions
Set 2: length match (shouldn't have dependencies)
Set 3: recent match (also shouldn't have dependencies)
Set 4: prefix table
Set 5: TCPMSS target
Set 6: ARP-tables patches

This way each logical set of changes can be discussed
seperately. I'd also send things that need additional
userspace-patches (like length) as kernel patch 1-n +
iptables patch 1-n, but closely together.
