Ah, thanks for the pointer. Rawhide kernels are "best effort" by early
rebase vs. excessive backporting, so a fix in nf.git must be rather
critical to hit it before linus.git.

Yes, this is present. To give you a bit of context: I have a script
which builds current upstream HEAD of iptables, nftables and
dependencies on a fresh Rawhide for running the test suites. I reserve a
RH-internal Big Endian machine (s390x VM) for it. The goal is to detect
Big Endian breakers early.

Thanks for clarifying!

Cheers, Phil
