Why not add a 32-bit field to the skb to handle various flag needs
going forward?

That is what ->cb already is

 From the comments, it appears each layer can write over these,
and since it's just a block of bytes, it is difficult to understand
what each bit/field is used for.

It still seems to me that a bit-field with well defined
flags is more useful.
