At the moment, there is not much other text: The user says that they got
the trace after a recent upgrade, but cannot notice any real problems
and I'm telling them that it's a deprecation warning and that I reported
it upstream. If I should ask for some specific information, please let
me know :) But not sure if more information from the user is even
required here or if the fix will just be similar to the one in
8c495270845d ("bnx2x: use the right build_skb() helper").
