Subject: Application brokne due to XFRMA_ALG_AUTH_TRUNC

Hi All,

I have an application compiled against kernel 2.6.32 and which is
using XFRMA_MARK (value 20).
However the same aplication does not work anymore on kernel 2.6.38.8
due to XFRMA_MARK has now the value 21 because of a new attribute
XFRMA_ALG_AUTH_TRUNC inserted before it in the file linux/xfrm.h.
Now the only solution would be recompiling this application. Is
correct introducing a new parameter in the middle of an existing enum
in the kernel headers ?

Rgds,
Eduardo Panisset.
