if skb are allocated with 16k = 16384 bytes, adding the struct
skb_shared_info overhead and rounding up to power of two gives 32768
bytes.

Chances to be able to allocate 32KB contiguous memory are slim after a
while.

I would set rx_max (rx_urb_size) to SKB_MAX_HEAD(0) so that you do not
use high order allocations.

What is the exact 'overhead' using ~4K instead of 16K exactly on this
hardware ?
