This doesn't seem right. We know the packet type, it's skb->protocol.
We should fill in that.

In addition, we should check whether mac_len > 0 and in such case,
change skb->protocol to ETH_P_TEB first (and store that value in the
pushed eth header).

Similarly on pop_eth, we need to check skb->protocol and if it is
ETH_P_TEB, call eth_type_trans on the modified frame to set the new
skb->protocol correctly. It's probably not that simple, as we'd need a
version of eth_type_trans that doesn't need a net device.
