I checked again my bandwith numbers (obtained with iperf3) with and
without the pre-computed header:

Test on standard packets with UDP (iperf3 -t 100 -l 1460 -u -b 0 -c *)
- With pre-computed header: UDP TX: 	33Mbit/s
- Without UDP TX: 			31Mbit/s  
-> 6.5% improvement  

Test on small packets with UDP (iperf3 -t 100 -l 700 -u -b 0 -c *)
- With pre-computed header: UDP TX: 	15.8Mbit/s
- Without UDP TX: 			16.4Mbit/s  
-> 4.3% improvement  

The improvement might not be huge but also not negligible at all.
Please tell me if you want me to drop it or not based on those numbers.  

Is this with manual injection or with FDMA? Do you have before/after
numbers with FDMA as well? At 31 vs 33 Mbps, this isn't going to compete
for any races anyway :)

These numbers were for the FDMA, with the CPU, its even much lower
because more time is spent to push bytes through registers...
But agreed with that, this isn't going to beat any records !
