Thats quite ugly. I'd also prefer to keep the size in
the nf_hooks declaration and elsewhere.

How about:

enum {
	__NFPROTO_MIN = AF_MAX - 1,   (AF_MAX is actually max + 1)
	NFPROTO_ARP,
	__NFPROTO_MAX
};
#define NFPROTO_MAX	(__NFPROTO_MAX - 1)

Then what's the point of defining __NFPROTO_MAX?

Its so ugly that everyone adding new values will notice it
and not add something after it :)

The array declarations should then use NFPROTO_MAX + 1.

Why +1 if MAX is ARP?

Because array indices start at zero.
