Sorry for the late response. Here's a patch that I put up based on Herbert's
suggestions. I ofcourse don't see the problem anymore after 
commit 87f94b4e91dc042620c527f3c30c37e5127ef757 but a generic helper such as this 
can be used anytime the bridge code is sending a packet over to the IP layer. 
Compile tested only but based on responses, will test it before submitting a 
final change. Also added it at two places where I know we do send a packet over to
the IP layer. I will add it at other places later as I come across them.

Looks fine to me.

Bandan, please submit this formally with proper commit message,
signoff, also the new function you added needs a minor coding
style fix, there needs to be a space after "if" and the openning
left parenthesis.

Thanks.
