[NetLabel]: core NetLabel subsystem
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. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <paul.moore@hp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

+ * +----------------------+-----------------------+
+ * | seq number (32 bits) | return code (32 bits) |
+ * +----------------------+-----------------------+
+ *
+ * seq number: the sequence number of the original message, taken from the
+ * nlmsghdr structure
+ * return code: return value, based on errno values
+ *
+ * o ACCEPT
+ * This message is sent from an application to specify if the kernel should
+ * allow unlabled packets to pass if they do not match any of the static
+ * mappings defined in the unlabeled module.
+ *
+ * +-----------------+
+ * | allow (32 bits) |
+ * +-----------------+
+ *
+ * allow: if true (1) then allow the packets to pass, if false (0) then
+ * reject the packets
+ *
+ * o LIST
+ * This message can be sent either from an application or by the kernel in
+ * response to an application generated LIST message. When sent by an
+ * application there is no payload. The kernel should respond to a LIST
+ * message either with a LIST message on success or an ACK message on
+ * failure.

+ * | accept flag (32 bits) |
+ * +-----------------------+
+ *
