It looks good to me.  I'd like to see something like this included before 2.4; 
IPv6 isn't a great deal of use to me without firewalling.

Are you working on the netfilter support code for IPv6?  I started looking at 
this a month or so back but didn't get especially far.  It's mostly an 
exercise in copying from the IPv4 version and changing some names. :-)
