How much of this is just building special case support for large allocations for jumbo frames? Wouldn't it make more sense to just fix those drivers to do scatter and add the support hooks for that?
Short answer: none of it is. If it happens to handle jumbo frames nicely that is mainly a lucky accident, and we do need to check that they actually works. Minor rant: the whole skb_alloc familly has degenerated into an unholy mess and could use some rethinking. I believe the current patch gets as far as three _'s at the beginning of a function, this shows it is high time to reroll the api.
