There is still a lot of code that depends upon there being
a scratch of ~15 bytes there at the beginning of the SKB data
area.

This kind of change, at best, would require a thorough audit
of every single piece of the networking, particularly things
that tunnel other protocols such as PPP and stuff like that.

I'm not saying it can't be done, I'm just saying it's hard :)
