 Please inform me, if you want to work on any of the TODO items, so I
 can update this list and thus prevent two people doing the same work.

+Userspace queuing for 2.5:
+- Integration with nfnetlink.
+- Multiple queues per protocol.
+- Netlink broadcast support.
+- Allow multiple reader/writers in userspace.
+- How to handle multiple protocols (e.g. use separate queue handlers
+  or a multiplexer like ipqmpd).
+- Peformance improvements: multipart messages, mmaped socket (possibly).
+- Simplify queuing logic, which is quite ugly at the moment. (BC suggested
+  removing logic from kernel).
+- Allow userspace to set nfmark.
+- Allow userspace to set queue length etc.
+- Possibly pass conntrack/NAT info to userspace with packet.
