BTW, regarding the patch title, you should be able to compile libnftnl
and nftables with no matter kernel version since we're caching the
header files.

So the subject is innacurate. The real problem is that you cannot
compile new nftables with old library version since
NFT_EXPR_LOG_LEVEL, which is a different thing.
