Can't decide if I'm happy with that vs. just dropping the "+ 8" ...
On the one hand, we already assume at least that the header is in the
linear portion for when we access it, but on the other hand it feels
safer to keep the check?

As you can see on the last line, this is broken.
Double likely() also seems weird.
I think it needs to be
+ if (likely(skb_copy_bits(skb, hdrlen, &payload, sizeof(payload)) == 0 &&
+ (!is_amsdu && ether_addr_equal(payload.hdr, rfc1042_header) &&
+ payload.proto != htons(ETH_P_AARP) &&
+ payload.proto != htons(ETH_P_IPX)) ||
but better if you check and resubmit.
