That's what I'll do as soon as I can find a definition of what the API
for alloc_skb() actually _is_.  It has clearly changed in the past few
years.

And it will continue to change.  There are no stable APIs inside of
the kernel, none.

Oh, I know (as does anybody who has maintained a driver for more than
a few months).  Right now, I'm just trying to find out what the
current API for alloc_skb() is.

Is skb_tailroom() guaranteed to be >= the requested size?
