Question about ipip implementation

Hello!

I read net/ipv4/ipip.c. It seems to me that ipip_rcv() function after
"unwrapping" tunelled IP packet creates "virtual Ethernet header" and submit
corresponding sk_buff to netif_rx().

Is there a some reason to do things this way instead of calling ip_rcv() for
"unwrapped" IP packet?
