Hm, indeed. But I see that the structs frag_queue in reassembly.c, ipq 
in ip_fragment.c and nf_ct_frag6_queue in nf code looks VERY similar 
and very much of code (like link/unlink or evict) looks the same too.

Maybe it's worth creating something like struct skb_fragment and
consolidate all the common stuff into some net/core/lib_frag.c? Or
is there some hidden reason for keeping this code splitted?

Thanks,
