call it as so:
tcf_exts_init(&e, TCA_FLOWER_ACT, 0);

I thought Cong had submitted a patch to kill some of this.
Basically old tc that may still have some policer stuff will
still continue to use the old syntax but new additions should not
continue to propagate it.
In user space you will no longer be able to say "police" without
the keyword action (look at iproute2 around commit 
863ecb04b4f7bd49fb40e4914ea22096be6db6bf)

cheers,
