No idea on this +2 point.
I think I know, and I believe I instructed Alexey Kuznetsov to do this. When sendfile() is performed, we might start the SKB with the last few bytes of one page, and end the SKB with the first few bytes of another page. In order to fit a full 64K frame into an SKB in this situation we have to accomodate this case.
