BTW this bug was definitely there before I moved the tunnel

But this is xfrm_rcv_encap where we're doing all sorts of nasty

Hmm skb->mac.raw is at the correct spot already.  The problem
is that there is a heap of crap between the ll header and the real
IP header so the packet socket's rcv function breaks down.

I'm afraid I can't see the correct solution here.  Could you
enlighten me please?
