[RFC][PATCH v6 09/19] Ignore room skb_reserve() when device is using external buffer.

From: xiaohui . xin
Date: Fri May 21 2010 - 05:27:21 EST


From: Xin Xiaohui <xiaohui.xin@xxxxxxxxx>

Make the skb->data and skb->head from external buffer
to be consistent, we ignore the room reserved by driver
for kernel skb.
