Ok, as it turns out, instead I converted all the old-style
protocols.  When things seemed really complex or hard to
convert easily I just put:

	nskb = skb_copy(skb, GFP_ATOMIC);
	if (!nskb)
		goto drop;
	kfree_skb(skb);
	skb = nskb;

at the top of the input handler.  The only instance that I did
this for actually was x25.
