This works in exactly the same way as the CIPSO label cache.
The idea is to allow the lsm to cache the result of a secattr
lookup so that it doesn't need to perform the lookup for
every skbuff.
It introduces two sysctl controls:
calipso_cache_enable - enables/disables the cache.
calipso_cache_bucket_size - sets the size of a cache bucket.

Lengths, checksum and the DOI are checked. Checking of the
level and categories are left for the socket layer.
CRC validation is performed in the calipso module to avoid
unconditionally linking crc_ccitt() into ipv6.

CALIPSO is a packet labelling protocol for IPv6 which is very similar
to CIPSO. It is specified in RFC 5570. Much of the code is based on
the current CIPSO code.
This adds support for adding passthrough-type CALIPSO DOIs through the
NLBL_CALIPSO_C_ADD command. It requires attributes:
NLBL_CALIPSO_A_TYPE which must be CALIPSO_MAP_PASS.
NLBL_CALIPSO_A_DOI.
In passthrough mode the CALIPSO engine will map MLS secattr levels
and categories directly to the packet label.
At this stage, the major difference between this and the CIPSO
code is that IPv6 may be compiled as a module. To allow for
this the CALIPSO functions are registered at module init time.
