Besides removing lots of duplicate code, all converted users benefit
from improved HW checksum error handling. Tested with and without HW
checksums in almost all combinations.

If skb->ip_summed is CHECKSUM_HW here, skb->csum includes checksum
of actual IPv6 header and extension headers. Then such excess
checksum must be subtruct when nf_conntrack calculates TCP/UDP checksum
with pseudo IPv6 header. Spotted by Ben Skeggs.

The connection tracking timeout variables are unsigned long, but
proc_dointvec_jiffies is used with sizeof(unsigned int) in the sysctl
tables. Since there is no proc_doulongvec_jiffies function, change the
timeout variables to unsigned int.

The existing connection tracking subsystem in netfilter can only
handle ipv4. There were basically two choices present to add
connection tracking support for ipv6. We could either duplicate all
of the ipv4 connection tracking code into an ipv6 counterpart, or (the
choice taken by these patches) we could design a generic layer that
could handle both ipv4 and ipv6 and thus requiring only one sub-protocol
(TCP, UDP, etc.) connection tracking helper module to be written.
In fact nf_conntrack is capable of working with any layer 3
protocol.
The existing ipv4 specific conntrack code could also not deal
with the pecularities of doing connection tracking on ipv6,
which is also cured here. For example, these issues include:
1) ICMPv6 handling, which is used for neighbour discovery in
ipv6 thus some messages such as these should not participate
in connection tracking since effectively they are like ARP
messages
2) fragmentation must be handled differently in ipv6, because
the simplistic "defrag, connection track and NAT, refrag"
(which the existing ipv4 connection tracking does) approach simply
isn't feasible in ipv6
3) ipv6 extension header parsing must occur at the correct spots
before and after connection tracking decisions, and there were
no provisions for this in the existing connection tracking
design
4) ipv6 has no need for stateful NAT
The ipv4 specific conntrack layer is kept around, until all of
the ipv4 specific conntrack helpers are ported over to nf_conntrack
and it is feature complete. Once that occurs, the old conntrack
stuff will get placed into the feature-removal-schedule and we will
fully kill it off 6 months later.
