It removes the IP header from an _outgoing_ packet before encapsulation.
If the packet is generated on the host itself, the panic could be ok.
If the packet is received and routed into an ipsec tunnel, it should
have been dropped before. Maybe there is some optimization that
skips checks for routed packets?
