Basically, something along those lines (eg struct tca_pkt_info) in which
the tcf_result is one of the components should do it. 

I would be satisfied with this being the structure in the ->act()
parameters because then it could also be used to pass action-metadata
around (no action written so far needs such coordination, but its been
one of those things i have been thinking of for some dynamic creations
for example  where the return code is insufficient to describe things).
Patrick, either you or i could do it. It doesnt matter if at the moment
the structure only contains tcf_result or elements of tcf_result because
i will add more to it later. Then we could kill access to tc_classid in
exec()

Sounds good.

Global I believe means you dont reset it when you clone/copy.
skb->tc_verd is only cleared when we free the skb at the moment and
transfered when we clone or copy. A bit or two could be reserved in the
tc_verd to say "clear tc_classid" and have the meta action decide if it
is global(dont clear) or not(clear - current behavior) during
clone/copy . Does this sound reasonable?

I have no objections but fail to see why we want to clear it anyway?
