Subject: [PATCH v2 selinux] selinux: remove unneeded ipv6 hook wrappers

Netfilter places the protocol number the hook function is getting called
from in state->pf, so we can use that instead of an extra wrapper.

Thanks for the patch Florian, although the name "selinux_hook_*" seems
a bit ambiguous to me, after all we have a little more than 200
"hooks" in the SELinux LSM implementation. Would you be okay with
calling the netfilter hook functions "selinux_nf_*" or something
similar? If you don't have time I can do the rename during the merge
assuming we can all agree on a name.

Since selinux_ip_forward() and selinux_ip_postroute() are used only in
the hook functions, how about changing their signature and using them
as hooks directly? That would solve the naming and also remove a few
extra lines of boilerplate.

No argument against that from me, although you should be able to do
the same for selinux_ip_output() as well unless I missed a caller.

I'll submit a v3.

I'll have a look, thanks for the pointers.
