This patch adds padding to the start of frames to make room for headroom for us to eventually start using build_skb. Right now we guarantee at least NET_SKB_PAD + NET_IP_ALIGN, however we allocate more space if more is available. For example on x86 the headroom should be 192 bytes. On systems that have too large of a cache line size to support storing 1.5K padding and shared info we default to using 3K buffers and reserve everything that isn't used for skb_shared_info or the data buffer for headroom.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
