If the secmark where replaced by a security blob, the u32 secmark field
in an sk_buff would be replaced by a void * security field.
You can already use the secmark to hash to some kind of pointer or other
object.
Would you really want that used in the most common configuration?
Sure, you *can* do that, but it would be insane to do so.
