Looking at the overall  end of this series, IMHO, we can just
drop this patch without any problem. The function that is being
moved here does not rely on any of the other code that exists
in the iptables.c file, and does rely on stuff in virfirewall.c

The only reason to move it appears to be because the logic is
related to iptables, and I don't think that's compellling when
the downside is creatin of a circular dependancy.
