That's a very nice idea. Wish there were such compilations for other 
networking stuff too :)

That's for adapters that can follow a chain of skb's as well as scan 
through the array of fragments in each skb (which is limited by 
MAX_SKB_FRAGS). Not sure which level of the stack actually uses that 
feature, but it may be usefull for passing a list of skb's, all 
belonging to a single "packet".
