    The following patch (against 2.6.29rc5) fixes a few issues in the
    smack/netlabel "unlabeled host support" functionnality that was added in
    2.6.29rc.  It should go in before -final.
    
    1) smack_host_label disregard a "0.0.0.0/0 @" rule (or other label),
    preventing 'tagged' tasks to access Internet (many systems drop packets with
    IP options)
    
    2) netmasks were not handled correctly, they were stored in a way _not
    equivalent_ to conversion to be32 (it was equivalent for /0, /8, /16, /24,
    /32 masks but not other masks)
    
    3) smack_netlbladdr prefixes (IP/mask) were not consistent (mask&IP was not
    done), so there could have been different list entries for the same IP
    prefix; if those entries had different labels, well ...
    
    4) they were not sorted
    
    1) 2) 3) are bugs, 4) is a more cosmetic issue.
    The patch :
    
    -creates a new helper smk_netlbladdr_insert to insert a smk_netlbladdr,
    -sorted by netmask length
    
    -use the new sorted nature of  smack_netlbladdrs list to simplify
     smack_host_label : the first match _will_ be the more specific
    
    -corrects endianness issues in smk_write_netlbladdr &  netlbladdr_seq_show
