I think you should use tun->set_features instead of tun->vnet_hdr_sz to
tell if these features are enabled.
This is the guest -> host direction. tun->set_features refers to the
opposite one. The problem is that tun is not aware of the features
negotiated in the guest -> host direction.

The current status (for baremetal/plain offload) is allowing any known
feature the other side send - if the virtio header is consistent.
This code follows a similar schema.

Note that using 'tun->set_features' instead of 'vnet_hdr_sz' the tun
driver will drop all the (legit) GSO over UDP packet sent by the guest
when the VIRTIO_NET_F_HOST_UDP_TUNNEL_GSO has been negotiated and
VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_UDP_TUNNEL_GSO has not.
This explanation makes sense. In that case I suggest:
- creating a new function named tun_vnet_hdr_tnl_get() and
- passing vnet_hdr_sz to tun_vnet_hdr_tnl_to_skb()

tun_vnet.h contains the virtio-related logic for better code 
organization and reuse with tap.c. tap.c can reuse the conditionals on 
vnet_hdr_sz when tap.c gains the UDP tunneling support.
Instead of repeating the test twice (in both tun_vnet_hdr_tnl_to_skb()
and tun_vnet_hdr_tnl_to_skb(), what about creating a new helper:

tun_vnet_hdr_guest_features(unsigned int vnet_hdr_len)

encapsulating the above logic? That will make also easier to move to the
'correct' solution of having the tun/tap devices aware of the features
negotiated in the guest -> host direction.
