This patch updates some of the flow_dissector api so that it can be used to
parse the length of ethernet buffers stored in fragments.  Most of the
changes needed were to __skb_get_poff as it needed to be updated to support
sending a linear buffer instead of a skb.


 u32 __skb_get_poff(const struct sk_buff *skb);
+u32 ___skb_get_poff(const struct sk_buff *skb, void *data,
+                   const struct flow_keys *keys, int hlen);

three underscores and not a static function?
May be we need to come with a proper name for it.
Two easy to confuse with two underscore version...

Actually what I could do is probably rename the 2 underscore version to
drop the underscores and then rename the 3 underscore version to just 2
underscores.  Then it would match up closer with how the other functions
are dealing with the data/hlen values.

Thanks,
