The idea behind this patch is that users setting the protocol to
something else probably do know better and so should be left alone.

Regardless of that, I think that still the skb pointers would be changed
by this patch which would confuse the receiver of the SKB (device
driver), no? Has anyone verified that theory? :)

Maybe receivers made wrong assumptions about some headers being set or
not set ?

A patch can uncover prior bugs.

commit 76fe45812a3b134c3917 is an example of a fix we had to do because
of another fix ;)
