About the headlen check, I don't like the idea that the hash depends upon
whether we have a fully fragmented packet or not.

Just use the appropriate interface, skb_header_pointer(), and recode this
as:

	struct ethhdr *ep, _hdr;

	ep = skb_header_pointer(skb, 0, sizeof(_hdr), &_hdr);
	if (ep)
		return ep->h_dest[5] ^ ep->h_source[5] ^ ep->h_proto;
	return 0;
