As far as I understand it you can not claim a fake transport layer header
size for udp and blindly check the available buffer size through
pskb_may_pull later. With a 32 bits HIGHMEM guest config (yuck...) it ends
up enabling bh within a network device start_xmit context.

Right, lying about the transport header size is going to give you nothing
but trouble, you absolutely cannot do this or networking breaks, and your
transmit handler doesn't run in a context where you can legally "fix"
things up.

We recently fixed even IPoIB in this regard.
