Thanks for taking the time to review the patches and send feedback, I 
know they weren't small.  I've made all the corrections you've 
suggested as well as the ones that Andrew and Randy pointed out.  I'm 
building a new kernel to test right now, if all goes well I'll push the 
new bits tonight or tomorrow.

I've also added all your ACKs to their respective patches except for 
this one because I made some non-trivial changes and didn't think it 
was fair to use your ACK.  While I was looking at the code I realized 
that we are calling selinux_parse_skb() in the per-packet processing 
functions a bit too early (my fault) resulting in potentially wasted 
cycles.  I've fixed it in this patch and you'll see the change 
shortly ...
