TBH, I completely missed that helper. It seems to have side effects,
though (pskb_may_pull()), which is one of the things the original patch
to sch_cake that initiated all of this was trying to avoid.
I guess I could just fix that, though, and switch __vlan_get_protocol()
over to using skb_header_pointer(). Will send a follow-up to do that.
Any opinion on whether it's a good idea to limit the max parse depth
while I'm at it (see Daniel's reply)?
