Hi Florian
The jumping through the pointer avoids the inbuilt vs module problems.
The helpers themselves could be in a net/core/*.c file, rather than
static inline in a header. Is it worth adding a net/core/dsa.c for
code which must always be built in? At the moment, probably not. But
if we have more such redirect, maybe it would be?
