Sorry for the delayed reply, I'm working through a pile of stuff after
being off.

I agree. I think my original intention was to set mac_len to 0. Which
is obviously not done by calling skb_reset_mac_len...

Strangely, skb_network_protocol does not set *depth to ETH_HLEN if it
is 0 and the type is ETH_P_TEB, which is something I would expect it to
do. Thus we indeed have to differentiate between the two cases before
calling skb_mac_gso_segment.

Willem, will you send the patch formally (with the htons fix)? Thanks a
lot for the analysis and the patch!
