I had a problem where I wanted to allow a cupsd_t to be able to open a
particular port at the firewall, say the ipp_port_t port.

sepolicy network -t ipp_port_t
ipp_port_t: tcp: 631,8610-8614
ipp_port_t: udp: 631,8610-8614


The problem, cups is sending across and open tcp/631 and I need firewalld to
check something like

allow cupsd_t ipp_port_t:tcp_netfilter open;

The only way for firewalld to figure out what type port tcp/361 is assigned
to, was to load the sepolicy framework and read in the currently loaded policy.

I think we should add an interface to the /sys/fs/selinux that would take a
port number and a protocol and return a process_type.
