[PATCH] Use nfmark as a key for u32 classifier

Hello!

I am glad to announce a patch for u32 to allow matches on nfmark.
The patch is non intrusive (few lines).

Why I did this? Because fw classifier cannot be used together with u32.
For example, now, you cannot match a mark of 0x90 and a destination
port of 80. I know you can do it with iptables to do the marking, but if
you use Jamal actions to apply mark to policed packets, you need this.

All stuff can be found at http://kernel.umbrella.ro/ also.

Dave, please consider adding this patch.

Stephen, if Dave accepts the patch, please apply the iproute2 patch. Thank
you.
