2) The layer using skb->cb[] should clear this area after use and
before handing the skb to another layer.  Ubicom should modify the
driver to clear the skb->cb[] area before sending it up the line.

This is the right option. If you use one word in cb[], only your driver
knows how to clear it efficiently.

Absolutely not! No protocol stack should rely on an external skb
having a zero cb.

Please fix the bridge instead as it's doing the IP injection.
