netfilter - conntrack helper: nf_conntrack_proto_gre does not support IPv6.

Hi,

For unknown reason, the conntrack protocol helper for GRE only
supports IPv4 and does not support IPv6.  Since the generic helper
code won't accept GRE anymore, I am getting "conntrack: generic helper
won't handle protocol 47", even when the nf_conntrack_proto_gre module
is loaded.  No conntrack entry is added for the IPv6 GRE, causing all
the inbound packet to be rejected/dropped.

Is there a reason why IPv6 is not supported in nf_conntrack_proto_gre?
Should I add a nf_conntrack_l4proto_gre6 object and register it,
similar to the nf_conntrack_l4proto_gre4 object?
