As m68k doesn't support highmem, all memory buffers should point to
"normal" kernel virtual memory. If any of these were a problem, we should
have noticed already.
I had a quick look at our nf* drivers, and (unless I missed something) none
of them seem to pass pointers to static data to NF calls, except for the
ID names and the buffer in arch/m68k/emu/natfeat.c:nfprint().
The latter is OK (albeit not thread-safe, but no one calls nfprint()?),
as natfeat.c is never a module.

OK. Enjoy sid, thanks!
