Yes, there is no direct relation with conntrack.
The re-fragmenting based on the qdisc_skb_cb(skb)->mru which only setting
in the act_ct. So I named this to ct_xx.

I think it is better put this feature to act_mirred. And it also not enable by 
default.

Only packet with qdisc_skb_cb(skb)->mru which means this packet just do 
reassemble

before conntrack.

So only othersolution for solving this problem?
