Yeha, to be honest, this approach isn't my ideal.  We've had a much
nastier version of this patch (that adds a field to skbuff...) for a
long time, and this was just a less awful way of doing this.

The problem for us is that moving the whole of our load balancing to
fwmark-based pools is a giant nightmare.  On top of the obvious stuff
(redeploying the userspace element to our load balancers), we'd also
need to find a way to prevent conflict between that and our firewalls.
It was more engineering than I had time for, sadly.

Other ideas I had to address this:
* Add some mechanism wherein certain fwmark's are ignored
* Add an iptables target that sets ipvs_property=1

I'm also totally open to ideas
