bug 11056: Add customized iptables and kernel modules to the system template
The new kernel module xt_CHECKSUM.ko is based on [1], and back ported to
2.6.32
kernel. New iptables is based on adding a new extension from [2].

[2]https://git.netfilter.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=iptables.git;a=commit;h=9d1b11102b53103c00b7fddf4658a4d2bdee1338
status 11056: resolved fixed
It fixes bug http://bugs.cloud.com/show_bug.cgi?id=11056, that debina/ubuntu
client can't get ip address in some cases.
It's ok to remove it from source tree, as the patched iptable binary itself is
already installed in system vm template.
