ASN experts ... comments on the following patch to the kernel client?

From: Chris Wright <chrisw at sous-sol.org>

When verifying the decoded header before decoding the object identifier
(expecting a SPNEGO pseudo-mechanism oid), the test to verify it is a
primitive encoding is compared against the asn1 class.  Primitive is not a
class.  This brings check in line with similar check for krb/ntlmssp oid.
