Personally I don't like the hack but you have to ask what he needs.
kmalloc grabs memory from the CPU cache. GFP_DMA insures that cache memory
is continues. I think Geoffrey needs to use a specific memory address in 
PCI space. Tho I like Geoffrey to try using GFP_DMA. The reason I don't
like the hack is that skbuff's is bus independent. Not all ethernet cards
are PCI based. Please try using GFP_DMA and let us know if it worked.
