From: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> For small packets we can simplify xmit processing by linearizing buffers with the header: most packets seem to have enough head room we can use for this purpose. Since existing hypervisors require that header is the first s/g element, we need a feature bit for this. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <redacted>
I really think this has to wait until the next merge window, sorry. Please resubmit this when I open net-next back up, thanks.
