Yeah, should work as well for the 32 bit archs, on 64 bit we
have this effectively already:

struct bpf_skb_data_end {
         struct qdisc_skb_cb        qdisc_cb;             /*     0    28 */

         /* XXX 4 bytes hole, try to pack */

         void *                     data_end;             /*    32     8 */

         /* size: 40, cachelines: 1, members: 2 */
         /* sum members: 36, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */
         /* last cacheline: 40 bytes */
};

Can you elaborate on why this works for mac80211? It uses cb
only up to that point from where you invoke the prog?
