If you have things that must happen in a sequence to flow through
your path properly, that's where the "stackable" bit comes in.  You
do that one bit, skb->dst = dst_pop(skb->dst), then your caller
will pass the packet on to skb->dst->{output,input}().

Is it clearer now the kind of things you'll be able to do?

So, this could be used for generic network layer encapsulation, and be 
used for GRE tunnels, SIT etc. without the kinds of kludges currently in 
use?  Sounds nice.

I don't think so, you can follow the lkml thread from 
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=103299391126734&w=2

(Jamal asked for the discussion to be cc'd to netdev).
