Thank you Eric.

It is USB device that can handle 480Mbits/s so a middle speed device.

It looks like it is the normal trade off of speed versus memory. Either
I can use skb_clone for speed but that will impact memory with multiple
skb's of 16k or I copy the data to keep the memory usage low. Though
copying 2k of data into an skb will not likely be a massive overhead.
