One small request for function naming:

All functions named "skb_*" should be core SKB handling functions found
and implemented in include/linux/skbuff.h and net/core/skbuff.c

Protocol specific helpers like this should be named "$PROTOCOL_NAME_*"
so please renamed these something like "nsh_header_push()" and
"nsh_header_pop()".

Thank you.
