This will not help Brandan's case.

His packets are coming straight from TUN/TAP.  They did not live in
the IP stack at all before hitting the bridge and then heading to
ip_fragment().

Therefore I'm inclined to agree with Herbert that we need to parse the
options explicitly before invoke ip_fragment().  We must call it with
an SKB in the state it expects, and that means with options parsing
already performed.
