Almost, in xfrm4_output the conditional calling of the hook should
only be done for IPv4 and the IPCB is not valid for IPv6 of course.
Speaking of which, shouldn't the entire cb be zeroed for interfamily
transforms? xfrm4_tunnel_output only clears out the options, and I
think your patch didn't touch it at all ..
