I asked if the remaining section (above) was acceptable so we could retain our

The above comment now answers my part of my initial question. Are you aware of
a better way to implement this or must we lose all our recycling enhancements?
You can poke around on netdev and ask about skb recycling in a new
thread, and propose something.
I just know that having your own custom skb initialization is a
non-starter. Any updates the main skb init code receives will
inevitably -not- be propagate to your code, rapidly leading to an
unmaintainable disconnect.
skb recycling in general is an interesting area to explore, and others
have poked around that area before. I bet googling for skb recycling
would turn up some useful thoughts and past efforts.
