> This reverts commit f9d40f6a9921 ("igb: Revert support for build_skb in
> igb") and adds a few changes to update it to work with the latest version
> of igb. We are now able to revert the removal of this due to the fact
> that with the recent changes to the page count and the use of
> DMA_ATTR_SKIP_CPU_SYNC we can make the pages writable so we should
> not be
> invalidating the additional data added when we call build_skb.
