Well, it does build because patch:

 [PATCH 3.11 178/208] ipv6: fix illegal mac_header comparison on 32bit

actually added that hunk.  This is a fix that is stable-specific (not in
mainline).  Also, I've used David's stable patches for 3.10 as a base for
this patch.

Maybe this was a mistake as skb_pop_mac_header() doesn't seem to be
required by patch 178 in this serie...?
