This one replaces the void* private pointer with the skb but you didn't
explain to us why this was done.

Also, the patch does two things.  It _adds_ the skb pointer and it also
_removes_ the opaque void* private-data pointer for the callbacks. 
What are the implications of removing callback_priv?  Why was this done?
