Sure.

Yes, I'd like to hear more feedback on this. I think it's a trade off
between performance optimization and clean interface. As we already use
dev_alloc_skb to reserve 32 bytes headroom, it should be enough for most
of the current drivers. While for those drivers really need a bigger
extra headroom and support Rx aggregation, this probably means
ieee80211_skb_resize. But the resize should always happen for every
packet from the IP stack, right?

Thanks,
