Hey Julian,
Thank you for your comments!

Yeah, I'll break it down into more patches than one (because this is a
lot to review), but

yeah, this was the original reason for my other patch which
consolidates the iph filling. I was actually thinking that, rather
than adding bool inverse, we should specify the type so that we don't
end up in a situation where we also need sloppy to be true. I was
waiting to see what you thought.

I'll incorporate this.

Ah, of course.

Duh, I've got some python tests and I'll update them so that the real
deal will be fully tested, and then we should find a way to include
the tests with upstream to save future modifiers the effort.

Yeah I was thinking about this. I think that, rather than adding a
bool field for inverse to iph, we should add some kind of type field.
This field will be one of IP_VS_IPHDR_NORMAL, IP_VS_IPHDR_INVERSE,
IP_VS_IPHDR_ICMP, IP_VS_IPHDR_ICMP_INVERSE. That way was can take
just the ports whenever we're looking for icmp. This is probably good
anyway, because even in ICMPv6 where we have all of the fields, if we
intend to schedule all ICMP messages, we don't care if the SYN flag is
set or not.

Yeah I thought about this and my concern is when we have ICMP with
ipip=true. It's probably the case that that never happens unless
there's something scheduled, but should we call it out explicitly in a
comment or something?
