> - The kmap use is interesting

It's so much easier to just always tack on the pages or whatever
and use __pskb_pull_tail(skb, SOME_MIN_HEADER_LENGTH)

I also notice that this driver does not do:

	skb_reserve(skb, NET_IP_ALIGN);

on RX packets to get the IP headers properly 4-byte aligned aligned
after the ethernet header.
