OK, I'm splitting them now.

I get:

net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_netlink.c:370: warning: passing argument 1 of
'nf_ct_tuple' discards qualifiers from pointer target type
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_netlink.c:377: warning: passing argument 1 of
'nf_ct_tuple' discards qualifiers from pointer target type

So I have to remove the 'const' from the last parameter of
ctnetlink_fill_info().

Or do some ugly casting in the nf_ct_tuple() calls to avoid the warning,
in that case I would prefer to leave that macro there.

Please, let me know what you prefer.
