This patch adds a generic segmentation offload toggle that can be turned
on/off for each net device.  For now it only supports in TCPv4.

They shouldn't be using 'u32' et al in structures which are used for
communication with userspace. Switch to the proper types (__u32 etc).

Attached is kernel patch for UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) feature.

1. This patch incorporate the review comments by Jeff Garzik.
2. Renamed USO as UFO (UDP Fragmentation Offload)
3. udp sendfile support with UFO

This patches uses scatter-gather feature of skb to generate large UDP
datagram. Below is a "how-to" on changes required in network device
driver to use the UFO interface.

UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) Interface:
-------------------------------------------
UFO is a feature wherein the Linux kernel network stack will offload the
IP fragmentation functionality of large UDP datagram to hardware. This
will reduce the overhead of stack in fragmenting the large UDP datagram to
MTU sized packets

1) Drivers indicate their capability of UFO using
dev-&gt;features |= NETIF_F_UFO | NETIF_F_HW_CSUM | NETIF_F_SG

NETIF_F_HW_CSUM is required for UFO over ipv6.

2) UFO packet will be submitted for transmission using driver xmit routine.
UFO packet will have a non-zero value for

"skb_shinfo(skb)-&gt;ufo_size"

skb_shinfo(skb)-&gt;ufo_size will indicate the length of data part in each IP
fragment going out of the adapter after IP fragmentation by hardware.

skb-&gt;data will contain MAC/IP/UDP header and skb_shinfo(skb)-&gt;frags[]
contains the data payload. The skb-&gt;ip_summed will be set to CHECKSUM_HW
indicating that hardware has to do checksum calculation. Hardware should
compute the UDP checksum of complete datagram and also ip header checksum of
each fragmented IP packet.

For IPV6 the UFO provides the fragment identification-id in
skb_shinfo(skb)-&gt;ip6_frag_id. The adapter should use this ID for generating
IPv6 fragments.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
