This patch adds build_skb support to the Rx path. There are several
advantages to this change.
1. It avoids the memcpy and skb->head allocation for small packets which
improves performance by about 5% in my tests.
2. It avoids the memcpy, skb->head allocation, and eth_get_headlen
for larger packets improving performance by about 10% in my tests.
3. For VXLAN packets it allows the full header to be in skb->data which
improves the performance by as much as 30% in some of my tests.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
