I read your commit more closely and also looked at nf_reinject() and I'm
not sure how the fix should be carried out.

After packet is processed by okfn it should return to the Rx path -
by making bridge's rx_handler return RX_HANDLER_PASS - so that it 
could be picked up by the packet handlers.

However, if verdict is NF_QUEUE and packet is later re-injected via
nf_reinject() then this can't happen, as rx_handler already returned
RX_HANDLER_CONSUMED for the packet.

So, my patch is wrong because it doesn't consume the packet in okfn, but
yours consumes it in a way which breaks current packet handlers.

Any suggestions regarding a fix? I have a feeling I'm missing something
obvious.

Thanks!
