Linux netfilter at some point (Linux 2.6.39) inverted the meaning of the '--ctdir reply' and newer netfilter implementations now expect '--ctdir original' instead and vice-versa. We check for the kernel version and assume that all Linux kernels with version 2.6.39 have the newer inverted logic. Any distro backporting the Linux kernel patch that inverts the --ctdir logic (Linux commit 96120d86f) must also backport this patch for Linux and adapt the kernel version being tested for.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
