If <linux/netfilter.h> includes <linux/in.h>, userspace compilation
fails (clashing defs, etc.); if <linux/netfilter.h> includes
<netinet/in.h>, kernel compilation fails (file not found).

What comes to mind is the ugly hack we had for a few days:

#ifdef __KERNEL__
#       include <linux/in.h>
#else
#       include <netinet/in.h>
#endif

and I think we should not impose any inclusion rules on userspace
this way.

Right now, it is solved this way:

kernel .c files explicitly include <linux/in.h> when loading
<linux/netfilter.h>,

userspace .c files explicitly includ <netinet/in.h> when loading
<linux/netfilter.h>. And that seems to work out.
