> Multiple places in the net stack open-code the same minimal IPv4 header
> validation: pull the fixed header, check version 4 and IHL >= 5 (where 5
> is the fixed header size in 32-bit units) - and locate the transport
> header at IHL * 4 past the network header.
>
> Add a helper for doing that: it returns the validated header and

> As noted by Phil Sutter, there are more places that could use this
