The recent changes to (6 Jul 04) pkt_cls.h are evil, you can't build a version

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.
