Thanks a lot. After the usual xmas delay, split and review, it is
available at:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/romieu/netdev-2.6.git velocity

I have shortened the end-of-line comments associated with several #define
but the end result is otherwise the same.

Remarks for the random reader below.

The cpu_to_le32 was probably wrong in the first place.

Same thing.

This one was fun.

skb->len->skb->data_len...

Still a bit broken but it is endian clean now. Fine.
