Subject: [PATCH 1/6] net: pack skb_shared_info more efficiently
nr_frags can be 8 bits since 256 is plenty of fragments. This allows it to be
packed with tx_flags.
Also by moving ip6_frag_id and dataref (both 4 bytes) next to each other we can
avoid a hole between ip6_frag_id and frag_list on 64 bit systems.
