Sorry that the patch is not clear the point.
This patch is on top of the ipset master branch, http://git.netfilter.org/ipset,
which I face a problem to build the latest ipset kernel module against
the linux-4.7~rc4-1~exp1 (Debian Experimental).

Therefore, I have backported the patch from mainline and prepared the
macro for backward compatible which
the ipset kernel module could be compiled with earlier kernel version (< 4.7)

Best regards,
Neutron Soutmun
