cover netfilter: built-in NAT support for DCCP, SCTP, UDPlite

The above L4 protocols usually need an explicit modprobe command (e.g "modprobe nf_nat_proto_sctp") to provide full functionality of REDIRECT targets and SNAT/DNAT targets where port number translation is explicitly configured.
In order to remove such limitation, this series converts CONFIG_NF_NAT_PROTO_{DCCP,SCTP,UDPLITE} from tristate to boolean: in case NAT support for these protocols is enabled in the kernel configuration, it will be built into nf_nat.ko.

I think you can replace this by:

#ifdef CONFIG_NF_NAT_PROTO_DCCP

given that IS_ENABLED catches the module case too.

This is is just a code readability nitpick, so whoever reads this code understands that we have no module support for this anymore.

That's right, so all IS_ENABLED(...) are going to be replaced with #ifdef ... in v2.

The above L4 protocols usually need an explicit modprobe command (e.g "modprobe nf_nat_proto_sctp") to provide full functionality of REDIRECT targets and SNAT/DNAT targets where port number translation is explicitly configured.
In order to remove such limitation, this series converts CONFIG_NF_NAT_PROTO_{DCCP,SCTP,UDPLITE} from tristate to boolean: in case NAT support for these protocols is enabled in the kernel configuration, it will be built into nf_nat.ko.

Sorry for not thinking of this sooner, but it would be nice to record size increase of nat module in the commit message (and perhaps size of 'old' proto_foo nat module that is removed).

hi,

yes - it makes sense. I will reword and post a v2 with test results. regards,
