I think it's better to expand tx_flags to a u16 and add the two new flags that you need. That allows the additional 7 bits to be used for arbitrary flags, not stranding 8 bits exactly only for zerocopy features. Moving around a few u8's in the same cacheline won't be a problem. I also prefer not to rename flags that some of us are familiar with, if it's not needed.
