In order to be able to provide QoS on tunneled IPv6 connections, I've
created a simple patch (definately not ready for inclusion in the kernel,
since it surely needs a configuration option) which promotes the netfilter
MARK value from the IPv6 packets to the sit packets.
Now I can mark packets using ip6tables, and on the ipv4 level I can still
differentiate between the priorities. Problem solved, I'm happy ;-)

I like this patch.  I think we should make it a kernel configuration
option, but for all kind of tunnel interfaces.  Something like
'propagate NFMARK while tunneling' (or maybe 'preserve' instead of
'propagate' is better language?)

DaveM: Would this be acceptable?
