I think open coding sk_buff_head is a wrong idea. Otherwise, this
patch looks OK to me, only a few cosmetic suggestions below.

If you really have to do this, all these: __skb_queue_tail(),
__skb_dequeue(), skb_queue_head_init(), skb_peek() etc. used here
should stay as (local) inline functions to remain readability.
