Hmm, good point. Are we expecting shared skbs on monitor interfaces somehow?

To be honest I don't know in which situations shared skbs are used (despite
the pktgen case I've run into) and thus cannot make a qualified statement :)

pktgen only generates 802.3 frames AFAICS and not arbitrary frames, so this
is not usable for monitor interfaces (yet?).
