Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/3] Drop get_headlen functions in favor of generic
 function

This series replaced igb_get_headlen and ixgbe_get_headlen with a generic
function named eth_get_headlen.

This is a first pass at this and has been compile tested only.  I'm mainly
looking for feedback on any issues with the approach I have taken or any
complains about the eth_get_headlen function or the changes to __skb_get_poff
in the first patch.

I'll try running this through some stress/performance testing tomorrow to
see how it compares to the original functions.
