l4 protocols are demuxed by l3num, l4num pair. However, almost all l4 trackers are l3 agnostic. Only exceptions are: - gre, icmp (ipv4 only) - icmpv6 (ipv6 only) This commit gets rid of the l3 mapping, l4 trackers can now be looked up by their IPPROTO_XXX value alone, which gets rid of the additional l3 indirection. For icmp, ipcmp6 and gre, add a check on state->pf and return -NF_ACCEPT in case we're asked to track e.g. icmpv6-in-ipv4, this seems more fitting than using the generic tracker. Additionally we can kill the 2nd l4proto definitions that were needed for v4/v6 split -- they are now the same so we can use single l4proto struct for each protocol, rather than two. The EXPORT_SYMBOLs can be removed as all these object files are part of nf_conntrack with no external references.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
