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.

I really think this has to wait until the next merge window, sorry.

Please resubmit this when I open net-next back up, thanks.

I assumed since -rc1 is out net-next is already open?

-rc1 being released never makes net-next open.  Instead, I explicitly
open it up at some point in time after -rc1 when I feel that things
have settled down enough.

And when that happens, I announce so here.

So you have to follow my announcements here on netdev to know
when net-next is actually open.

Thanks for letting me know.  I'm sure that works well for others, but I
can't follow the mailing lists of every maintainer I deal with.

Fortunately, you're the paragon for acking applied patches, so if I hit
this failure mode again I will know.

Cheers,
Rusty.

In case you missed this, net-next opened Fri, 19 Jul 2013.
