Sorry! I didn't check this before writing. This:
1941 static int ip_route_input_slow(struct sk_buff *skb, __be32 daddr, __be32 saddr,
1942 u8 tos, struct net_device *dev)
1943 {
...
1963 /* IP on this device is disabled. */
1964
1965 if (!in_dev)
1966 goto out;
1967
1968 /* Check for the most weird martians, which can be not detected
1969 by fib_lookup.
1970 */
means something else, so with IP disabled you shouldn't have any martians!
(And this is old code.)
