Ok, have to revive my memories here.
So, actually hdr_len stands for all tunell headers users want to add.
It consits of optional l2_len (could be zero) plus outer ip len, plus
in that case udp hdr len.
hdr_l3_off is an offset withih hdr_len where outer ip header starts.
So yep, initial patch looks ok to me, I just acked it.
Sorry for being a bit sloppy at reviewing it.
