Is the struct ipt_mulitport allocated by ip_tables before the 
functions are called?

You mean if I change the struct completly I will run into 
compatibility problems when using new kernel code, but old userspace 
code?

What about alignment? I need 62 bytes, but it must probably aligned 
to 64 bytes. Which part is responible for alignment? Iptables or the 
module code?
