Right. I added those for completeness in supporting the xmit path.
In the xt_policy use-case it is irrelevant as tc is invoked after
encapsulation.

I will submit a v2 without these, asserting the ingress direction.

Note I have followed the example in em_ipset.c, so that might be a
problem there too...
