While connlabels provide 128bits of space skb->mark is still only 32
bits. Since we are using connection tracking to simply restore skb->mark
the use of connlabels by itself doesn't solve the problem I outlined
above. skb->mark would still needs to be increased in size.
We have ctnetlink which allows direct setting of ctmark/ctlabels.
Can those labels be set early enough in the stack to affect the source
address chosen for outgoing connections?
