So if we move calling sk_mark_ll() into the rcu protected region,
We would not need the gen id in the skb.
We could save skb->dev and skb->queue_mapping along with the generation 
id in the socket.

then we don't need to change the skb struct at all.
skb_mark_ll() can go away.
we also call sk_mark_ll in one central place in net_protocol->handler 
instead of all over the place.

or am I missing something?
