Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/9] IrDA 2.6.28 bug fix

Hi Dave,

This is a 9 patches series for IrDA, against your net-2.6 tree.
This is an attempt to fix kernel.bugzilla.org bug #11795, where we noticed
skb->cb could be altered once submitted to dev_queue_xmit. Since IrDA is using
this callback to pass per-skb information, we are now stuffing it in front of
skb->data, after allocating the right headroom.

Another solution would be to play with the IrDA physical header and skb_pull
our skbs whenever we are physically transmitting the data.

Cheers,
Samuel.
