Exactly (skb->dev was changed to NULL ...). Do you think it makes sense 
to put printks in various places in __netif_receive_skb_core to see 
after which function call skb->dev turns into NULL?

That one fixes the oops, though I wonder if your previous patch is 
needed (I reverted it before testing the current). Unfortunately I don't 
have SIM card around to test GPRS connection with, will do it as soon as 
I find one and will report.
