I think most adjustments are too small to be noticed. Typically
they are just for a few bytes in the header. truesize
is already larger, so it can tolerate some slag.

I also only see it occasionally (maybe 5-10 times/day) when
the wireless stack appends a lot of data.

My proposal would be to include this patch for 2.6.28/2.6.29
and investigate fixing pskb_expand_head for 2.6.30.
