I apologize - I am still not convinced this is a cleanup and i can
already see holes you are introducing (example not freeing skb etc). 
You are putting me in a dilemma of not wanting to discourage you
but at the same time not seeing this as a useful change to be made.
Can we let this one slide?

cheers,
jamal
