Huh, that would imply that skb->network_header points to before
skb->head; when does that happen?

Also, pskb_may_pull() does check for len > skb->len, so I guess a
follow-up question would be, "does it happen often enough to warrant
handling at this level"?

Also, I copied that bit from sch_dsmark, so if you really thing it needs
to be fixed, I guess we should fix both...
