Aleksandr, why was this made into an skb extension in the first place?

AFAIU this feature is usually always disabled at build time.
For debug builds (test farm /debug kernel etc) its always needed.

If thats the case this u64 should be an sk_buff member, not an
extension.

Because it was requested :-)
