Is this wrong? Current code: (u32)

2004/06/15 hadi       | #ifdef CONFIG_NET_CLS_ACT
2004/06/15 hadi       | 	struct tc_action	*action;
2004/06/15 hadi       | #else
2002/02/05 torvalds   | #ifdef CONFIG_NET_CLS_POLICE
2002/02/05 torvalds   | 	struct tcf_police	*police;
2002/02/05 torvalds   | #endif
2004/06/15 hadi       | #endif
