Applied, but the overall logic in the usbnet transmit path definitely
could use a good reconsideration and cleanup.

I'm even open to having generic support at the generic net device TX
level to fixup the segmentation layout of the SKB so that it meets
the device's requirements.  We can do it more efficiently there too.
