I think pktgen should be cloning the skbs using skb_clone(). Then it

That might work, but it would decrease performance slightly (or,
increase CPU load at least).
Perf-wise, you could clone the skbs up front, then deliver them to the
nic in a tight loop. This would mitigate the added overhead introduced
by calling skb_clone() in the loop doing transmits...
Maybe a new option: multi_clone
If the current code is busted, I think it should be fixed.
My 2 cents.
