All of the __skb_{push,pull}() modifications made by icmpv6_send()
are illegal.  The SKB could be cloned and being inspected by other
entities in the networking, therefore moving the pointers around
could cause problems.

Therefore what we do instead is propagate the:

        skb->nh.raw - skb->data

offset into the skb_copy_and_csum_bits() calls.  This is what
the pre-IPSEC version of the icmpv6 code did.

When you pass a negative offset into skb_copy_and_csum_bits()
this means start that many bytes before skb->data

Jan, can you give this patch a try with your setup?
Thanks a lot.
