Ah, right. The 'dev' variable here is declared as

#ifdef CONFIG_NETFILTER
        struct net_device *dev = skb->dev;
#endif

Apparently because the code produced the same warning as the ipv6 code.

Removing the #ifdef here would make that code nicer and let us use
my patch. Alternatively we could put the same #ifdef into IPV6 and
not use the inline function.

Any opinions?
