Yes, I would move the relevant constants and packet structures into 
include/net/pptp.h ...

While you're at it, there are places like:

     islcp = ((data[0] << 8) + data[1]) == PPP_LCP && 1 <= data[2] && 
data[2] <= 7;

that should be written as:

     islcp = PPP_PROTOCOL(data-2) == PPP_LCP && CP_CONF_REQ <= data[2] 
&& data[2] <= CP_CODE_REJ;

Similarly for:

                 data[0] = PPP_ALLSTATIONS;
                 data[1] = PPP_UI;

that should be using:

         PPP_ADDRESS(data) = PPP_ALLSTATIONS;
         PPP_CONTROL(data) = PPP_UI;

etc. but this cleanup can go in a 2nd patch.  The definitions for 
CONFREQ and CONFACK and CP_CONF_REQ and CP_CONF_ACK and PPP_LCP_ECHOREQ 
and PPP_LCP_ECHOREP are redundant and probably should all go into 
ppp_defs.h as well (which would require refactoring 
drivers/net/ppp/ppp_async.c).


> 2. The GRE version 0 patch could use the sizeof pptp_gre_header.seq ?

Actually, since you're going to be doing the pptp.h header anyway, I'd 
add a v0 as well as a v1 struct just to be more clear/concise.
