I checked the layout of sk_buff after this, we already had a 1-byte
hole there, that now becomes a 7-bits hole (or disappears with
__unused). That's fine.

Boris, I read your commit 784abe24c903 ("net: Add decrypted field to
skb") just now.

I think 'decrypted' shouldn't go there, because you then copy it on
copy and clone: if you move if after headers_start[0] you don't need to
explicitly copy it in __copy_skb_header().

While at it, the copy you added in __skb_clone() is redundant (no
matter the position of 'decrypted').

I can send a clean-up patch against net-next. I guess this might cause
again a linux-next merge conflict, but it's again trivial (the __unused
field above would go away).
