small nit: use of skb->protocol here may lead to "ambiguous" results: a
VLAN "accelerated" packet is properly processed, while the same VLAN
packet with "non-accelerated" tag is not processed because skb->protocol
is htons(ETH_P_8021Q). Can I suggest use of skb_protocol(), that has
been introduced recently by Toke [1] ?

same here,

and here (even though it's just a printout).
