The commit a new tc ematch for using netfilter xtable matches.
This allows early classification as well as mirroning/redirecting traffic
based on logic implemented in netfilter extensions.
Current supported use case is classification based on the incoming IPSec
state used during decpsulation using the 'policy' iptables extension
(xt_policy).
The module dynamically fetches the netfilter match module and calls
it using a fake xt_action_param structure based on validated userspace
provided parameters.
As the xt_policy match does not access skb->data, no skb modifications
are needed on match.
