My main concern with these patches is that moving the NetLabel check out
of selinux_socket_sock_rcv_skb() and into selinux_skb_policy_check() (as
it is currently written) would force us to compare a packet's NetLabel
with either the IPsec label or the secmark label and not the socket's
label.  The ability to make access decisions based on the process
consuming the data and the data itself it one of the nicer qualities of
NetLabel in my opinion.

Like James, I'd also like to see the outbound side too.
