netfilter: ip_tables: add iptables security table for mandatory access control rules
The following patch implements a new "security" table for iptables, so
that MAC (SELinux etc.) networking rules can be managed separately to
standard DAC rules.
This is to help with distro integration of the new secmark-based
network controls, per various previous discussions.
The need for a separate table arises from the fact that existing tools
and usage of iptables will likely clash with centralized MAC policy
management.
The SECMARK and CONNSECMARK targets will still be valid in the mangle
table to prevent breakage of existing users.

changes. The commit phase is only called if inspection detects that

Jay Vosburgh corrected a math error in the original; Nicolas' original
commit message is:
When setting arp_interval parameter to a very low value, delta_in_ticks
for next arp might become 0, causing an infinite loop.
See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10680
Same problem for miimon parameter already fixed, but fix might be
enhanced, by using msecs_to_jiffies() function.
