Just consolidate the array into a direct conversion table.  You only
have 2 bits defined so you only need an array of 4 entries.  Pass the
optional flag bits directly in as the index of that table.

How can I get some code executed during the initialization of the IP
stack which initializes the table, before any sk_buff gets allocated?

The content is constant, but writing it down as static initializers
using just preprocessor macros would be difficult and/or ugly - that's
why I haven't done it already.

It's 4 entries... really.  You can initialize them simply, perhaps
with some fancy macro used by the initializers.
