Why are you reinventing this?

/**
 * A macro that points to an offset into the data in the mbuf.
 *
 * The returned pointer is cast to type t. Before using this
 * function, the user must ensure that the first segment is large
 * enough to accommodate its data.
 *
 * @param m
 *   The packet mbuf.
 * @param o
 *   The offset into the mbuf data.
 * @param t
 *   The type to cast the result into.
