[Intel-wired-lan] [RFC PATCH 20/20] ixgbe: Add support for build_skb

From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck at intel.com>

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.
