I have a patch to replace u32 mark with an sk_buff. The mark is in the 
sk_buff already, and so is the secpath field I need. Would that be 
acceptable? I can hold off until the merge window is over.

-extern int fib_validate_source(__be32 src, __be32 dst, u8 tos, int oif,
-                              struct net_device *dev, __be32 *spec_dst,
-                              u32 *itag, u32 mark);

+extern int fib_validate_source(struct sk_buff *skb, __be32 src, __be32 dst,
+                              u8 tos, int oif, struct net_device *dev,
+                              __be32 *spec_dst, u32 *itag);

(dev is also usually the same as skb->dev, but not always...)
