Though a few nit-picks below.

I would leave + on previous line.
Also it's possible to annotate temporary variable and use it, but it seems not
worth to do.

Side question: Do you think the below is correct (& operator)?

        sp.len = get_unaligned_le16(&((struct ssh_frame *)sf.ptr)->len);

To me seems like you take an address to len member rather its value.
