: Further reduction of direct access to skb->data

Hi David,

Please take a look, at first I thought about adding a skb_copy_{from,to}_data,
that would do just the memcpy, but then skb_{copy,store}_bits seems to be fit for this purpose, but its more costly in some cases, comments?

I think you should make the named alias for direct memcpy() instead, call it skb_copy_{from,to}_linear_data() so that the assumed invariant is well documented.
