Since the dividie is only needed nat setup and not for each packet I
think its ok.

Bases 32769 > gives 0 for the modulo value, so perhaps compute that
independently.

You could reject > 32769 in the iptables checkentry target.

Also, base of 21846 and above always give 0 result (% 1).

I don't know psid well enough to give a recommendation here.

If such inputs are nonsensical, just reject it when userspace asks for
this and add a

if (WARN_ON_ONCE(base > bogus))
return NF_DROP;

with s small coment explaining that xtables is supposed to not provide
such value.

Other than this I think its ok.

I still dislike the 'bool is_psid' in the nat core, but I can't find
a better solution.
