In v2, I added a separate patch which makes that file conform to
checkpatch.pl (used the --fix-inplace option and tweaked the output a
bit). So that should be fine already.

I'm not so sure. The kernel explicitly takes care to get the bit
ordering right:
| struct iphdr
| {
| #if __BYTE_ORDER == __LITTLE_ENDIAN
| unsigned int ihl:4;
| unsigned int version:4;
| #elif __BYTE_ORDER == __BIG_ENDIAN
| unsigned int version:4;
| unsigned int ihl:4;
| #else
| # error "Please fix <bits/endian.h>"
| #endif
act_pedit though just mangles the whole byte as-is, and if that was
correct, we would not have to go that extra mile in struct iphdr, or do
we?

Since I am lazy, I wanted to have as much automation as possible while
testing. Therefore I just assumed that act_pedit does the right thing
all the time, and iproute just has to feed it correct values. Given the
scope of this patch, this is also completely sufficient. Of course, the
tests/ directory would benefit more from a full test. But since
automation then becomes tricky, I'm not sure it makes much sense to
deliberately write code for that.
Thanks for the review,
Phil
