	I did a grep for inet_add_protocol, in case if
we prefer to use per-protocol checks:

Protocols that look ok to me: TCP, SCTP, DCCP

ICMP: missing check in icmp_rcv
UDP, UDPLITE: need check in __udp4_lib_rcv
IGMP: uses only multicast address?
PIM: not sure if __pim_rcv() needs check, before skb_tunnel_rx()
	changes pkt_type?

More protocols are also registered with inet_add_protocol(), I don't
see pkt_type checks there, mostly tunnels:
- IPPROTO_GRE
- IPPROTO_L2TP
- IPPROTO_IPIP
- IPPROTO_IPV6 (tunnel64_rcv)

	If going to use a global check I hope there are
no protocols that require exception to this rule.

Regards
