That looks suspiciously similar to the extended header in the address
packet. Can you use the same name for that?
And, similar to the address packet, what about:
	packet->index |= SPE_PKT_EXT_HEADER_INDEX(buf[0]);

(merging the mask and the shift in the macro definition)

I think the Linux kernel coding style does not mention parentheses just
around numbers, so just 0x2 would suffice, for instance.
See section 12) in Documentation/process/coding-style.rst
