[Patch 2.4.21-pre4]: promote netfilter MARK values to sit packets

[Erik Hensema]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 281 bytes --]

This is the patch I sent to the list yesterday, this time including config
options and help. The code should apply to at least 2.4.19 and up, the
Configure.help patch is made against 2.4.21-pre4.

Is this material for lkml and/or Marcello yet?
