GRE assumes that the GRE header is at skb_network_header +
ip_hrdlen(skb). It is more general to use skb_transport_header
and this allows the possbility of inserting additional header
between IP and GRE (which is what we will done in Generic UDP
Encapsulation for GRE).

I am always confused why you do not include prior Acked-by when you
repost same patch.

This forces me to add it again.

Note this should be a net-next patch, right ?
