Hi Kamal, It's just a nit, but we would like to keep the patches in the same form as in upstream when possible, i.e. without the line-break here.

If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ---8<------------------------------------------------------------ From: Daniel Jurgens <danielj@xxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 82d69203df634b4dfa765c94f60ce9482bcc44d6 upstream. Use htons instead of unconditionally byte swapping nexthdr. On a little endian systems shifting the byte is correct behavior, but it results in incorrect csums on big endian architectures.
