Subject: [RFC][PATCH v5 08/19] Make __alloc_skb() to get external buffer.
From: Xin Xiaohui <xiaohui.xin@...el.com>
Add a dev parameter to __alloc_skb(), skb->data
points to external buffer, recompute skb->head,
maintain shinfo of the external buffer, record
external buffer info into destructor_arg field.
