Quickly looking at it, I don't know if adding it would help any (on the
countrary).
The code seems to be used mainly to skip over extension headers
(forbidden, strictly speaking) when generating ICMP messages; in the case
of ESP, the rest of the payload should be encrypted so adding it to the
list would probably not change anything?
