I think that Hong's patch is following the correct way to fix the
issue: ipoib_hard_header() can't assume that the skb headroom is at
least IPOIB_HARD_LEN bytes, as wrongly implied by commit fc791b633515
(my fault, I'm sorry).
Perhaps we can make the code a little more robust with something
alongside the following (only compile tested):
