Subject: [PATCH net-2.6 v2 1/3] vlan: Add function to retrieve EtherType from vlan packets.
From: Hao Zheng <hzheng@...ira.com>
Depending on how a packet is vlan tagged (i.e. hardware accelerated or
not), the encapsulated protocol is stored in different locations. This
provides a consistent method of accessing that protocol, which is needed
by drivers, security checks, etc.

Changes from v1:
* Use skb_header_pointer() instead of pskb_may_pull() when retrieving
possibly paged data inside the vlan header to avoid invalidating the
pointers of callers.
