++ * CPUs often take a performance hit when accessing unaligned memory
++ * locations. The actual performance hit varies, it can be small if the
++ * hardware handles it or large if we have to take an exception and fix it
++ * in software.
++ *
++ * Since an ethernet header is 14 bytes network drivers often end up with
++ * the IP header at an unaligned offset. The IP header can be aligned by
++ * shifting the start of the packet by 2 bytes. Drivers should do this
++ * with:
++ *
++ * skb_reserve(NET_IP_ALIGN);
++ *
++ * The downside to this alignment of the IP header is that the DMA is now
++ * unaligned. On some architectures the cost of an unaligned DMA is high
++ * and this cost outweighs the gains made by aligning the IP header.
++ * 
++ * Since this trade off varies between architectures, we allow NET_IP_ALIGN
++ * to be overridden.

++ * The networking layer reserves some headroom in skb data (via
++ * dev_alloc_skb). This is used to avoid having to reallocate skb data when
++ * the header has to grow. In the default case, if the header has to grow
++ * 16 bytes or less we avoid the reallocation.
++ *
++ * Unfortunately this headroom changes the DMA alignment of the resulting
++ * network packet. As for NET_IP_ALIGN, this unaligned DMA is expensive
++ * on some architectures. An architecture can override this value,
++ * perhaps setting it to a cacheline in size (since that will maintain
++ * cacheline alignment of the DMA). It must be a power of 2.
++ *
++ * Various parts of the networking layer expect at least 16 bytes of
++ * headroom, you should not reduce this.
