The oops seems to be from the skb passed to ip_handle_martian_source(),
which is the skb pulled from the ARP queue.  Either skb->mac_header is
bogus, or the skb pointer itself is:

	movl	148(%edi), %edi	# <variable>.mac_header, D.47506
	testl	%edi, %edi	# D.47506
	je	.L141	#,
	pushl	$.LC1	#
	xorl	%ebx, %ebx	# i
	call	printk	#
	popl	%eax	#
	jmp	.L136	#
.L137:
	movzbl	(%ebx,%edi), %eax	#* D.47506, tmp72    ******** trap here *******
	pushl	%eax	# tmp72
	pushl	$.LC2	#
	call	printk	#
	movzwl	210(%esi), %eax	# <variable>.hard_header_len, <variable>.hard_header_len
	popl	%edx	#
	decl	%eax	# tmp74
	cmpl	%eax, %ebx	# tmp74, i
	popl	%ecx	#
	jge	.L138	#,
	pushl	$.LC3	#
	call	printk	#
	popl	%eax	#
.L138:
	incl	%ebx	# i
.L136:
	movzwl	210(%esi), %eax	# <variable>.hard_header_len, <variable>.hard_header_len
	cmpl	%eax, %ebx	# <variable>.hard_header_len, i
	jl	.L137	#,

Stephen, I haven't been able to reproduce this--can you provide a
recipe?  Where is that packet coming from?
