Create an ordered IP address linked list mechanism similar to the core
kernel's linked list construct. The idea behind this list functionality
is to create an extensibile linked list ordered by IP address mask to
ease the matching of network addresses. The linked list is ordered with
larger address masks at the front of the list and shorter address masks
at the end to facilitate overriding network entries with individual host
or subnet entries.

Add a new kernel subsystem, NetLabel, to provide explicit packet
labeling services (CIPSO, RIPSO, etc.) to LSM developers. NetLabel is
designed to work in conjunction with a LSM to intercept and decode
security labels on incoming network packets as well as ensure that
outgoing network packets are labeled according to the security
mechanism employed by the LSM. The NetLabel subsystem is configured
through a Generic NETLINK interface described in the header files
included in this patch.
