This change is in the implementation details regarding how internalized
labels are stamped onto m_tag's -- it doesn't make any changes to where
those labels come from.  As with before, I think the three most useful
approaches to take are CIPSO, IPsec, and firewall-derived labels, none of
which are implemented in the base system or MAC tree currently.
