It's also used to generate dma structs for outgoing packets.  In that
case, skb_headlen() == 0:

static struct sk_buff *lguestnet_alloc_skb(struct net_device *dev, int gfpflags)
{
	struct sk_buff *skb;

	skb = alloc_skb(16 + ETH_HLEN + DATA_SIZE, gfpflags);
	if (!skb)
		return NULL;

	skb->dev = dev;
	skb_reserve(skb, 16);
	return skb;
}

/* Find a new skb to put in this slot in shared mem. */
static int fill_slot(struct net_device *dev, unsigned int slot)
{
	struct lguestnet_info *info = dev->priv;
	/* Try to create and register a new one. */
	info->skb[slot] = lguestnet_alloc_skb(dev, GFP_ATOMIC);
	if (!info->skb[slot]) {
		printk("%s: could not fill slot %i\n", dev->name, slot);
		return -ENOMEM;
	}

	skb_to_dma(info->skb[slot], ETH_HLEN + DATA_SIZE, &info->dma[slot]);

Cheers,
Rusty.
