Subject: [PATCH v2] skb_array: array based FIFO for skbs

A simple array based FIFO of pointers.  Intended for net stack so uses
skbs for type safety, but we can replace with with void * if others find
it useful outside of net stack.

Still untested, fixed the bug pointed out by Eric.
Posting since several people expressed interest in
helping test this.

Note: SKB_ARRAY_MIN_SIZE is a heuristic. It can be increased
to more than 2 cache lines, or even to INT_MAX to disable
the heuristic completely.
