I spent a little more time looking into this. I think the best we can do is
to keep FB_MTU internal to msg.c, and then add an outline function to msg.c
that can be used by bcast.c. The way it is used is never time critical.

I also see that we could need a little cleanup around this. There is a
redundant align() function that should be removed and replaced with the
global ALIGN() macro.
Even tipc_buf_acquire() should use this macro instead of the explicit method
that is used now.
In general, I stongly dislike conditional code, and it is not necessary in
this function. If we redefine the non-crypto BUF_TAILROOM to 0 instead of 16
(it is not used anywhere else) we could get rid of this too.

But I leave that to you. If you only fix the FB_MTU macro I am content.

Yeah, I think I can handle it, just leave it to me.

It seems like I have been misleading you. It turns out that these 
messages *will* be sent out over the nework in some cases, i.e. at 
multicast/broadcast over an UDP bearer.
So, what we need is two macros, one with the conditional crypto 
head/tailroom defined as you first suggested, and one that only use the 
non-crypto head/tailroom as we have been discussing now.
The first one can be defined inside bcast.c, the latter  inside msg.c.
It might also be a good idea to give the macros more descriptive names, 
such as ONEPAGE_MTU in the broadcast version, and ONEPAGE_SKB in the 
node local
version.

Does that make sense?
