Cleanup, compatibilityv5.0-pre7
- Use is_vmalloc_addr when freeing vmalloc or kmalloc-ed areas. Thus we can get rid of a flag and simplify some functions. - When checking "same" sets, ignore hash size, because resizing changes it. - 2.6.35 compatibility added. - Discuss backward/forward compatibilities in the README file.

Read the ipset(8) and iptables(8), ip6tables(8) manpages on how to use
ipset and its match and target from iptables.

+- The ipset 5.x userspace utility contains a backward compatibility
+ interface to support the syntax of ipset 4.x.
+- The ipset 5.x userspace utility can't talk to the kernel part of ipset 4.x.
+- The ipset 5.x kernel part can't talk to the userspace utility from

+- The ipset 5.x kernel part can work together with the set match and SET
+ target from iptables 1.4.7 and below, however if you need the IPv6 support
+ from ipset 5.x, then you have to use iptables 1.4.8 or above.
