As I said in my original message, it was a crude hack which has since
been relegated to the great bitbucket of the sky. All that's left is
that "bugfix" patch.
If alloc_skb() does not do an skb_reserve(), then the bug fix
patch is unnecessary. The "bug" only exists if you happen to
change alloc_skb() to do an skb_reserve().
