any layer can use the cb structure whichever way they wish. There are
violations, e.g:
the vlan code also uses the cb field to pass vlan details for hardware
acceleration. How does pktgen affect it though, clone() will just copy
the cb field and pktgen doesnt touch it.
In retrospect, pktgen may have to use clone - ccing Robert Olsson.
