Right, I actually have a patch for that, but was waiting for net-next
being re-opened :

commit 9a731d750dd8bf0b8c20fb1ca53c42317fb4dd37
Author: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>
Date:   Mon Nov 25 13:09:20 2013 -0800

    net-fixes: introduce dev_consume_skb_any()
    
    Some NIC drivers use dev_kfree_skb_any() generic helper to free skbs,
    both for dropped packets and TX completed ones.
    
    To have "perf record -e skb:kfree_skb" give good hints on where
    packets are dropped (if any), we need to separate the two causes.
    
    dev_consume_skb_any() is a helper to free skbs that were properly sent
    to the wire.
