This is an attempt to fix kernel.bugzilla.org bug #11795, where we noticed skb->cb could be altered once submitted to dev_queue_xmit. Since IrDA is using this callback to pass per-skb information, we are now stuffing it in front of skb->data, after allocating the right headroom. Another solution would be to play with the IrDA physical header and skb_pull our skbs whenever we are physically transmitting the data. Cheers, Samuel.
