NetLabel: Introduce static network labels for unlabeled connections
Most trusted OSs, with the exception of Linux, have the ability to specify static security labels for unlabeled networks. This patch adds this ability to the NetLabel packet labeling framework. If the NetLabel subsystem is called to determine the security attributes of an incoming packet it first checks to see if any recognized NetLabel packet labeling protocols are in-use on the packet. If none can be found then the unlabled connection table is queried and based on the packets incoming interface and address it is matched with a security label as configured by the administrator using the netlabel_tools package. The matching security label is returned to the caller just as if the packet was explicitly labeled using a labeling protocol.
