Thanks.

This is a little odd -- I don't see why
	pskb_expand_head(skb, 0, 0)
or
	pskb_expand_head(skb, 0, 18)

would try to do an order 1 allocation when skb->len is 404 or 1728. It
looks like something is forcing larger alignments than should be
necessary, but I have no idea what.

(for netdev: http://mid.gmane.org/49F8C03D.6040909@xxxxxxxxxxxx has more
information)
