Sorry, but I fail to understand what we try to achieve here. In this case, the
packet socket builds a packet without a hard header:

<-------48B--------->
<--40B--->
+--------+----------+
|IPv6 hdr|ICMPv6 hdr|
+--------+----------+
^ skb->data
      ^ nh offset: 34 (ie dev->hard_header_len, ie ethernet hdr + ipv4 hdr)

The nh offset does not match any data in the packet.

dev_validate_header() checks that datalen (ie 48) is >= dev->hard_header_len (ie
34). Still no hard header here.

Then, dev->xmit (ie sit_tunnel_xmit()) is called. This function calls
pskb_inet_may_pull() which tries to pull 40B from the nh offset (34). But the nh
offset still points somewhere in the ipv6 hdr, thus the test fails (34 + 40 > 48).
I don't understand why it is wrong to set the nh offset to 0 (skb->data), ie
exactly where the ipv6 header starts.
