dropreason.h is included by skbuff.h because history, but I don't think
any of the new stuff must be visible in skbuff.h.

Could you make a new header, and put as much of this stuff there as
possible? Our future selves will thank us for shorter rebuild times..

Weak preference to also take the code out of skbuff.c but that's not as
important.


You To'd both wireless and netdev, who are you expecting to apply this?
:S
