On the starting point chosen, it could be possible that just one skb
remains in between the range provided, leading to copying and re-insertion
of rb node, which is useless with respect to the rcv buf measurement.
This is rather probable in ooo queue case, in which non-contiguous bloated
packets have been queued up.

What do you mean by useless ?

Surely if this skb contains 17 segments (some USB drivers allocate 8KB
per frame), we want to collapse them to save memory.

So I do not agree with this patch.
