Looks good.

After this change goes in I'm going to change the calling
convention, especially since I really hate functions that
return multiple values using pass-by-reference to accomplish
this.

What I plan to do is move the early socket demux before the
skb_dst()==NULL check, then we don't need the error return.

Subsequently we can return a bool which is your new nocache
value.
