Store IPv6 exthdr data from ipv6_find_hdr() in skb->cb[].
Introducing struct inet6_skb_exthdr_cache / IP6CB_EXTHDR, as its not
possible to extend inet6_skb_parm directly, or else DCCP dccp_skb_cb
CB size gets too big.
Adding:
__u16 thoff; /* L4 Transport Header offset */
__s16 protocol;/* L4 protocol */
__u16 fragoff; /* packet is a fragment, with offset */
Optimize ip6t_do_table() by using the new ipv6_find_hdr_cb() in
ip6_packet_match(). Before ipv6_find_hdr() were called for each
iptables rule, with a "-p" protocol option (including -p all), which
is very commonly used. The function ipv6_find_hdr_cb() is inlined to
optimize this case and avoid a function call.
The inet6_skb_exthdr_cache / IP6CB_EXTHDR is added to linux/ipv6.h in
the hope that ipv6_skip_exthdr() might also take advantage of this, in
the future.

Can someone tell me if netfilter (with all of its different HOOKs) can be
allowed to modify data after inet6_skb_parm/IP6CB ???
