Help

This a hidden option, which one should use with a lot of care.
NO bug reports will be accepted if that option is enabled!
You are warned.
If you are 100% sure the headers memory space is always in a
contiguous space, this will save stack usage and ROM in net core.
This is a possible case when using IPv4 only, with
NET_BUF_FIXED_DATA_SIZE enabled and NET_BUF_DATA_SIZE of 128 for
instance.
