We can't fit them into the cb together, I don't see a way to
shrink ieee80211_tx_info.

Maybe one of the wireless folks can suggest something? Is it
really necessary to pass the full struct ieee80211_tx_info
through the qdisc layer, or could the struct be split? It
needs to find a way to co-exist peacefully with qdiscs'
skb->cb usage.
