251a4b320f net/inet_lro: remove setting skb->ip_summed when not LRO-able
When an SKB cannot be chained to a session, the current code attempts
to "restore" its ip_summed field from lro_mgr->ip_summed. However,
lro_mgr->ip_summed does not hold the original value; in fact, we'd
better not touch skb->ip_summed since it is not modified by the code
in the path leading to a failure to chain it.  Also use a cleaer
comment to the describe the ip_summed field of struct net_lro_mgr.

877364e60e [LRO] Fix lro_mgr->features checks
lro_mgr->features contains a bitmask of LRO_F_* values which are
defined as power of two, not as bit indexes.
They must be checked with x&LRO_F_FOO, not with test_bit(LRO_F_FOO,&x).

621544eb8c [LRO]: fix lro_gen_skb() alignment
Add a field to the lro_mgr struct so that drivers can specify how much
padding is required to align layer 3 headers when a packet is copied
into a freshly allocated skb by inet_lro.c:lro_gen_skb().  Without
padding, skbs generated by LRO will cause alignment warnings on
architectures which require strict alignment (seen on sparc64).

Myri10GE is updated to use this field.

f53f4137ba fix endianness bug in inet_lro
all uses of and almost all assignments to lro_desc->tcp_ack assume that it's
net-endian; one converts net-endian to host-endian and sticks it in
lro_desc->tcp_ack.

cfcabdcc2d [NET]: sparse warning fixes
Fix a bunch of sparse warnings. Mostly about 0 used as
NULL pointer, and shadowed variable declarations.
One notable case was that hash size should have been unsigned.

71c87e0ced [NET]: Generic Large Receive Offload for TCP traffic
This patch provides generic Large Receive Offload (LRO) functionality
for IPv4/TCP traffic.

LRO combines received tcp packets to a single larger tcp packet and
passes them then to the network stack in order to increase performance
(throughput). The interface supports two modes: Drivers can either
pass SKBs or fragment lists to the LRO engine.
