I don't see why you may need the mark in the destroy message. You can 
keep a cache in userspace with the connections that belong to a certain 
subset and their marks, then if the mark changes, move such connection 
the a different subset. It doesn't make sense to me the idea of 
including the mark in the destroy message since such mark didn't change 
with regards to the previous event delivered.
