This patch collects all of the CIPSO constants and puts them in one place; it
also documents each value explaining how the value is derived.

This patch changes a BUG_ON in the CIPSO code to a runtime check. It should
also increase the readability of the code as it replaces an unexplained

Hi again.
So - trying to get back to the original discussion - what (if anything)

Up until this patch the functions which have provided NetLabel support to
