Started to work on PPTP helper port for post-2.6.11

I've started to port the PPTP conntrack and NAT helper to the 2.6.11-and-later API changes. Obviously that forced me to look at the code deeper than I did for quite some time. That in turn led me to the discovery of a bug. Obviously, the bug was not hit in most installations, because it's only a bug in the error path.

Expectations used to be kmalloc()ed, so the helper could directly kfree() them without a problem. Some time ago, we introduced a slab cache for expectations, so that would no longer work. Now the code in svn was changed to use ip_conntrack_expect_free().

Arriving at reboot7

I just arrived in Copenhagen for the reboot 7 conference. Travelling went fine, actually the first time I was using easyJet (one of the new European low-cost airlines). The flight was in the evening, so I don't know if they also try to sell you beer at 6:30 am (like AirBerlin) ;)

reboot7 seems to be quite different from the usual conferences that I'm attending. It's way less technical, so I actually reorganized my gpl-enforcement slides adding some more high-level overview on the subject of the GPL, motivations for copyleft licensing, etc.
