Two comments on the H.323 conntrack/NAT helper:
- the function prototypes in ip_nat_helper_h323.c are _ugly_,
please move them to a header file

Their ugliness is because of the current API, which cleaned up
quite a lot of the surrounding code, but requires this ugliness
from each helper. I would like to keep them visible as a reminder
that a cleaner solution is wanted, but moving them to header
files certainly sound like a good idea to eliminate the risk
of prototype conflicts. But please do this for all helpers
at once.

- is there a reason for not using EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL?

I would prefer that too.



Sure, I'll do that.

Thanks
