Hmm, I think the above calculation should take into account the actual
length of the IP options, and not just the max size (calculate it
based on iphdr->ihl).

Beyond that fix, I think it's time to put together a proper patchset
and post it to the lists for formal review/merging.

Thanks for your work on this.
