By the way, I have looked at the code for alloc_skb in
linux-2.5.8-pre1/net/core/skbuff.c and have no idea how this can
help alignment. Also, to my knowledge, all USB host controllers
do DMA (I mean PCI bus mastering, not using the motherboard's DMA
controllers). The driver seems to work fine without the skb_reserve
calls.

So, please delete them if you have not done so already. Thanks
in advance.
