iptables-1.3.7 Requires ip_tables to be built as module

[Harvey Muller <hlmuller@yahoo.com>]

Yasuyuki,

During the review, I noticed the inclusion of the load_iptables_ko function within the
compatible_revision function.  Removal of the inclusion results in no error messages,
and testing of firewall doesn't seem to show adverse affects.

This is the patch I created for testing:
