No. If you look at __netdev_alloc_skb() and __napi_alloc_skb(), they
reserve NET_SKB_PAD at the beginning of linear area. Documentation of
__build_skb() also says that driver should reserve NET_SKB_PAD before
the actual frame, so it is a standartized hardware-independent
headroom.
Leaving that space in skb->head will allow developers to implement
IFF_TX_SKB_NO_LINEAR in a wider variety of drivers, especially when
a driver has to prepend some sort of data before the actual frame.
Since it's usually of a size of one cacheline, shouldn't be a big
deal.
[ I also had an idea of allocating an skb with a headroom of
NET_SKB_PAD + 256 bytes, so nearly all drivers could just call
pskb_pull_tail() to support such type of skbuffs without much
effort, but I think that it's better to teach drivers to support
xmitting of really headless ones. If virtio_net can do it, why
shouldn't the others ]
