CALIPSO is a packet labelling protocol for IPv6 which is very similar
to CIPSO. It is specified in RFC 5570. Much of the code is based on
the current CIPSO code.
This adds support for adding passthrough-type CALIPSO DOIs through the
NLBL_CALIPSO_C_ADD command. It requires attributes:
NLBL_CALIPSO_A_TYPE which must be CALIPSO_MAP_PASS.
NLBL_CALIPSO_A_DOI.
In passthrough mode the CALIPSO engine will map MLS secattr levels
and categories directly to the packet label.
At this stage, the major difference between this and the CIPSO
code is that IPv6 may be compiled as a module. To allow for
this the CALIPSO functions are registered at module init time.

My @hp.com will no longer be valid starting August 5, 2011 so an update is
necessary. My new email address is employer independent so we don't have
to worry about doing this again any time soon.

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.
