I was working with the out-of-tree ixgbe because I have the option there
of stripping out FCoE and RSC via a couple of build flags. The problem
is I don't know if the head frag stuff will work out very well with
ixgbe because RSC and FCoE require that we have to use 1K aligned
receive buffers. It would require us to make us have to bump up our
allocation size by NET_SKB_PAD plus skb_shared_info which would likely
force us up to order 1 pages on most platforms.
Thanks,
Alex
