Yes, I was thinking about potential overkill for, currently, just one
bit of storage. But here is my motivation:
CAN frameworks is currently using two ways to store metaadata (expecpt
of SKB):
1. skb->cb. This variant is not extendable and can be used only insight
of one driver.
2. can_skb_priv as part of skb->data->head. Is potentially extendable
but we will need to use skb_copy instead of skb_clone. Because we
can't modify head for clone only. IMO, this will add potentially more
overhead than SKB_EXT.

In long term, as soon as we will need to extend can specific meta
data, we will have same situation: it will be not big enough to migrate
to SKB_EXT. Maybe we need to move can_skb_priv to SKB_EXT as well?
