The network protocol used to communicate with the host is the remote ndis (rndis) protocol. We need to decorate each outgoing packet with a rndis header and additional rndis state (rndis per-packet state). To manage this state, we currently allocate memory in the transmit path. Eliminate this allocation by requesting additional head room in the skb.
Series applied, thanks.
