this series contains a header file proposal for MPLS labels. These
labels do not seem to be properly defined in the kernel so far. We are
developing a wired/wireless 802.21/MPLS switch and need to check the
MPLS labels to use the traffic control info for transmissions over
802.11 networks.
Changes to third version:
* rename mpls_label_stack to mpls_label (thanks Neil)
* fix over-indendented closing brac (thanks Sergei)
* add Johannes' Ack
Thanks,
Simon
Simon Wunderlich (3):
if_ether.h: add IEEE 802.21 Ethertype

Labels for the Multiprotocol Label Switching are defined in RFC 3032
which was superseded by RFC 5462. Add the definition to UAPI and a stub
header for include/linux.

Changes to third version:
* rename mpls_label_stack to mpls_label, as it describes just one of
possibly multiple label stack entries (see RFC 3032).
Changes to first version:
* add stub mpls header in include/linux/mpls.h for users inside the
kernel

Series applied, thanks Simon.
MPLS labels may contain traffic control information, which should be
evaluated and used by the wireless subsystem if present.
Also check for IEEE 802.21 which is always network control traffic.

Changes to third version:
* add Johannes' Ack
* fix over-indented closing brace
Changes to second version:
* rely on skb->protocol instead of checking ethertype
Changes to first version:
* include linux/mpls.h, not the UAPI one
* change __constant_htons to htons
