Subject: [PATCH] ipv4: add DiffServ priority based routing

Enables IPv4 Differentiated Services support for IP priority based
routing. Notice that the IP TOS field was redefined 1998 to DiffServ
(RFC 2474). Type Of Service is deprecated since 1998 !

This patch adds a compliant flag to net/ipv4/Kconfig, which allows
the user to select DiffServ ore TOS priority based routing. Default
answer is TOS.
