Subject: [PATCH net-next 09/10] net: Add a hardware buffer management helper API

This basic implementation allows to share code between driver using
hardware buffer management. As the code is hardware agnostic, there is
few helpers, most of the optimization brought by the an HW BM has to be
done at driver level.
