Use netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align on newer SoCs with integrated switch (enetsw) when refilling RX. Increases packet processing performance by 30% (with netif_receive_skb_list). Non-enetsw SoCs cannot function with the extra pad so continue to use the regular netdev_alloc_skb. Tested on BCM6328 320 MHz and iperf3 -M 512 to measure packet/sec performance.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
