I guess we could modprobe. I think we dropped the modprobe from the
_diag modules because there was an easy netlink way to get the modules
to load which didn't cost us an exec. since we're doing an exec here
anyway to run the iptables binaries, modprobe might be simpler.

The other option is to figure out some netlink way to specify an
invalid rule. I'm not sure what that would look like off the top of my
head, though :)
