^^  I think you can't use 27 (act_ctinfo forgot to explicitly define it),
or the uAPI will break. See below:

and (minor ntit) the comment 

/* other actions go here */

should be interpreted like 

/* other actions go right above this comment */

otherwise the comment will float up as we continue adding new TC actions.

After your patch CTinfo and CT will have the same ID:

[dcaratti@localhost tmp.j4kzBzv3oe]$ cat prova.c 
#include <stdio.h>

#define UNO 1
#define DUE 2
#define TRE 3
#define QUATTRO 4

enum {
        TCA_ID_UNO = UNO,
        TCA_ID_DUE = DUE,
        TCA_ID_TRE = TRE,
        TCA_ID_CTINFO,
        TCA_ID_QUATTRO = QUATTRO,
        TCA_ID_MAX
};

int main (int argc, const char *argv[])
{
        printf("%d %d %d %d %d %d\n", TCA_ID_UNO, TCA_ID_DUE, TCA_ID_TRE,
TCA_ID_CTINFO, TCA_ID_QUATTRO, TCA_ID_MAX);
        return 0;
}
[dcaratti@localhost tmp.j4kzBzv3oe]$ gcc prova.c -o prova
[dcaratti@localhost tmp.j4kzBzv3oe]$ ./prova 
1 2 3 4 4 5
[dcaratti@localhost tmp.j4kzBzv3oe]$ 

so, I think you should use 28. And I will send a patch for net-next now
that adds the missing define for TCA_ID_CTINFO. Ok?
