Subject: [PATCH (resubmit)]: fix lro_gen_skb() alignment

Add a field to the lro_mgr struct so that drivers can specify how much
padding is required to align layer 3 headers when a packet is copied
into a freshly allocated skb by inet_lro.c:lro_gen_skb().  Without
padding, skbs generated by LRO will cause alignment warnings on
architectures which require strict alignment (seen on sparc64).

Myri10GE is updated to use this field.
