Generalize NFT_META_IIFTYPE to NFT_META_IFTYPE which allows you to match on the interface type of the skb->dev field. This field is used by the netdev family to add an implicit dependency to skip non-ethernet packets when matching on layer 3 and 4 TCP/IP header fields. For backward compatibility, add the NFT_META_IIFTYPE alias to NFT_META_IFTYPE. Add __NFT_META_IIFTYPE, to be used by userspace in the future to match specifically on the iiftype.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
