Scanning the code:
Would it not work if i only passed it IP packets (the tc
classifier can check) and then for v4 i do something like
ipv4_conntrack_in() with pre-routing as the hook to update
the skb?

I  may be overthinking this: are you saying connmark should do the
copying to skb->mark instead of some action? Earlier you said
conmark depends on presence of skb->nfct.
