Wow, now it strikes me that i was running around blind all the time.
SECMARK is a target not a match.
I always thought i would implementing much the same thing.

I guess there would be in fact currently not way to set a MARK or  
CONNMAK
based on a SECMARK. Most of the *MARK targets have a --restore-mark  
option
to restore a mark into the packet mark.
But since the SECMARK is not numeric/bitmask there is nothing to  
restore.
They however can do the same in regard do CONNSECMARK and SECMARK
but which would not help in this case.
A secmark netfilter _match_ could do the trick here.

Well here is how i did this, maybe something like this is the way to  
go for
SELinux (or LSM in general) too.

I'm surprised that i have not realized this little detail before. :-/
