Why __packed?

Drop on error, you're not stopping the queue correctly, just drop,
return OK and avoid bugs.

Why inline? Please remove the spurious inline annotations.

name labels after the target, not the source. Makes it a ton easier 
to maintain sanity when changing the code later.

Why create a cache ?
Isn't it cleaner to create a fake ring buffer of sgl? Most packets will
not have MAX_SKB_FRAGS of memory. On a ring buffer you can use only as
many sg entries as the packet requires. Also no need to alloc/free.

double space, please fix everywhere

This can't fail?

no empty lines between call and its error check, please fix thru out
