Well TUN does not have any hw headers so there is nothing to pull :).
Basically it does what ever PPP driver does. Which is

        skb_pull(skb, 2);       /* chop off protocol */
        skb->dev = ppp->dev;
        skb->protocol = htons(npindex_to_ethertype[npi]);
        skb->mac.raw = skb->data;
        netif_rx(skb);
