Please look at the 'kluge' that NetBSD uses.

netinet/if_arp.c:
                        trh = (struct token_header *)M_TRHSTART(m);

net/if_token.h:
/*
 * This is a kludge to get at the token ring mac header and the source route
 * information after m_adj() has been used on the mbuf.
 * Note that m is always an mbuf with a packet header.
 */
#define M_TRHSTART(m) \
        (ALIGN(((m)->m_flags & M_EXT ? (m)->m_ext.ext_buf : &(m)->m_pktdat[0]) \
            + sizeof (struct token_header)) - sizeof(struct token_header))
