Interesting - maybe userspace should be able to configure a(n) (list
of) ethertype(s)?

It's probably better to reset this at interface type switching, if it's
not done anyway (we zero a lot of memory there, but not sure precisely
what)

Otherwise we'll surely forget this in some place like mesh or OCB ...

Initially it must be false (0) anyway.

Heh. One of the cases where the 80 cols line is just dumb :-)

Seems this could be better without the goto, perhaps pulling the code
into a helper function?

	noencrypt = status->flags & RX_FLAG_DECRYPTED;
? It's a bool, after all, and you could even roll it into the
declaration.
