The recent changes to (6 Jul 04) pkt_cls.h are evil, you can't build a version
of 'tc' to work unless you know the kernel config!

It has several API problems:
  - API data structures change on kernel config options
  - new fields should be added at the end of a structure to allow
    binary compatibility.
 
This patch tries to clean this up.
I totally agree and I've discussed this with Jamal already.
We just haven't gotten around to coding up the patch, but
now you have :-)

I'll apply this, thanks Stephen.
