This patchset consists of three patches that add support for the remaining two tag types from the CIPSO draft specification, the enumerated and range tags. The most significant part about adding these two tags is that NetLabel now has the ability to represent more than 240 categories (limitation imposed by the current restricted bitmap tag).
In addition, the first patch in the set converts NetLabel's contiguous char string category bitmap stored in network friendly bit/byte order into a sparse bitmap stored in host friendly bit/byte order. While this change was not required to support the new CIPSO tags, it should make life much easier as the old category bitmap would have proven problematic as the number of usable categories increases with the new tag types. It also has a side effect of making the LSM specific code much less ugly. During testing I have not seen any regressions with this patchset; please consider this for net-2.6.20.
