Subject: [net-next PATCH V1 0/3] net: enable use of kmem_cache_alloc_bulk in
 network stack

This patchset enables use of the slab/kmem_cache bulk alloc API, and
completes the use the slab/kmem_cache bulking API in the network stack.

I've not included the patches that introduce a SKB bulk hint, which
would beneficial for drivers like mlx5.  Lets see if we can agree on
this patchset first.

      net: bulk alloc and reuse of SKBs in NAPI context
      mlx4: use napi_alloc_skb API to get SKB bulk allocations
      net: warn on napi_alloc_skb being called in wrong context
