Taking a full copy via skb_realloc_headroom() on every xmit is overkill and wastes CPU time; all we actually need is to push on the qeth_hdr. So rework the L2 OSA TX path to avoid the copy. Minor complications arise because struct qeth_hdr must not cross a page boundary. So add a new helper qeth_push_hdr() that catches this, and falls back to the hdr cache that we already use for IQDs. This change uncovered that qeth's TX completion takes rather long. Now that we no longer free the original skb straight away and thus call skb->destructor later than before, throughput regresses significantly. For now, restore old behaviour by adding an explicit skb_orphan(), and a big TODO to improve the TX completion time.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
