ipfw and ipsec processing order for outgoing packets wrong

Hi,
I noticed that processing order of ipsec and ipfw (pfil_hook) is not
correct for outgoing packets. Currently, ipsec processing is done first,
which makes packets to go through without firewall inspection.
This might be a security problem for someone, but at least it
breaks stateful rule handling.
My test setup is (all freebsd 5.3-rc1 machines):
freebsd laptop <-> ipsec tunnel <->freebsd server
When server sends packet to laptop, it now goes like this:
ip_output -> ipsec -> ip_output -> ipfw -> network
It should go like this:
ip_output -> ipfw -> ipsec -> ip_output -> ipfw -> network
I think that this could be fixed by just moving pfil_hook
processing in ip_output before ipsec processing.
