Subject: static inline int xfrm_mark_get() broken

Hi,

experimenting with the new XFRM_MARK feature of the 2.6.34 kernel
I found out that the extraction of the mark mask might accidentally
work on 64 bit platforms but on 32 bit platforms the function is
awfully broken. The rather trivial patch attached to this mail fixes
the problem. Otherwise the XFRM_MARK feature seems quite promising!

Best regards

Andreas
