similar to: [PATCH v5 23/45] virtio_net: get rid of virtio_net_hdr/skb_vnet_hdr

virtio 1.0 doesn't use virtio_net_hdr anymore, and in fact, it's not really useful since virtio_net_hdr_mrg_rxbuf includes that as the first field anyway. Let's drop it, precalculate header len and store within vi instead. This way we can also remove struct skb_vnet_hdr. Signed-off-by: Michael S.

From: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst at redhat.com> For small packets we can simplify xmit processing by linearizing buffers with the header: most packets seem to have enough head room we can use for this purpose. Since existing hypervisors require that header is the first s/g element, we need a feature bit for this. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst at redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty
