I'm not entirely clear on the paragraph above, but we do need to be
able to set/modify the IP options in cipso_v4_skbuff_setattr() in
order to support CIPSO labeling. I'm open to better and/or
alternative solutions compared to what we are doing now, but I can't
support a change that is a bug waiting to bite us. My apologies if
I'm interpreting your comments incorrectly and that isn't the case
here.
