    doc: document IPv6 TOS mangling bug in old Linux kernels
    
    In Linux kernels up to and including 2.6.38, with the exception of longterm
    releases 2.6.32.42 (or later) and 2.6.33.15 (or later), there is a bug (*) whereby
    IPv6 TOS mangling does not behave as documented and differs from the IPv4
    version. The TOS mask indicates the bits one wants to zero out, so it needs to
    be inverted before applying it to the original TOS field. However, the
    aformentioned kernels forgo the inversion which breaks --set-tos and its
    mnemonics.
    
    (*) Fixed by upstream commit:
        1ed2f73d90fb49bcf5704aee7e9084adb882bfc5 (netfilter: IPv6: fix DSCP mangle code)
