this.

Extended match rules are currently supported by basic, flow and cgroup
filters, so update the man page.

The commit calls a new tc ematch for using netfilter xtable matches.
This allows early classification as well as mirroning/redirecting traffic
based on logic implemented in netfilter extensions.
Current supported use case is classification based on the incoming IPSec
state used during decpsulation using the 'policy' iptables extension
(xt_policy).
The matcher uses libxtables for parsing the input parameters.
Example use for matching an IPSec state with reqid 1:
tc qdisc add dev eth0 ingress
tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip parent ffff: \
basic match 'ipt(-m policy --dir in --pol ipsec --reqid 1)' \
action drop
This is the user-space counter part of kernel commit ccc007e4a746
("net: sched: add em_ipt ematch for calling xtables matches")

These do nothing on an 80-column display. They were clearly somebody's
boilerplate way of setting up hanging indents, but the syntax lines
are way too short to require them. And since most were argumentless
they would have been no-ops on any sized display.
The debian package checking tool, lintian, spotted that the
tc ematch manpage seems to have an error in the specified section.
