Not directly related to this patch, but I just had to look at pahole
output for sk_buff and the struct_group() stuff makes is really painful
to read :/ Offsets for the members are relative to the "group" and they
are all repeated.

Is there any chance you could fix that? Before we sprinkle more pixie
dust around, perhaps?
