+Subject: [PATCH] arptables: Support -x/--exact flag
+
+Legacy arptables accepts but ignores the flag. Yet there are remains of
+the functionality in sources, like OPT_EXPANDED define and a print_num()
+function which acts on FMT_KILOMEGAGIGA flag being set or not. So
+instead of mimicking legacy behaviour by explicitly ignoring -x flag for
+arptables, just enable the feature for it.
+
+Signed-off-by: Phil Sutter <phil@nwl.cc>
+(cherry picked from commit 24c5b593156de29a49146bcc3497ebb7d8d40ef0)
