I would have been going for NFPROTO_ now, with a translation

We need to keep the INET/INET6 values identical anyway,
so there no need for translation here.

The problem is with non-IP,non-IPv6 that passes through xfrm.
That is, if IPX can get xfrmd at all, probably does.

It doesn't. We also don't support IPX, this is IMO a non-issue
that can be discusses once IPX gains IPSEC support (aka never).

Should I change all AF_INET6 to NFPROTO_ in the same run
(i.e. mostly xt_[A-Za-z]*.c), or leave it as is?
If we introduce those values, they should be used everywhere.

That would amount to a huge patch (perhaps I split to make it feasible).

I have no problems taking a huge sed patch if it
makes sense.
