1073 u32 allows you to extract quantities of up to 4 bytes from a packet,
1074 AND them with specified masks, shift them by specified amounts and
1075 test whether the results are in any of a set of specified ranges.
1076 The specification of what to extract is general enough to skip over
1077 headers with lengths stored in the packet, as in IP or TCP header
1078 lengths.
