Christian, how does placement of skb allocation point make a
difference? Anyway skb that carry data frame will be handed to the mac
and replaced with new one. That is, this patch does not eliminate
possibility of control frame loss due to insufficient memory.
Maybe we'd better have separate reusable skb for control frames which
is never handed out from the driver?
