Honestly, this feels a bit cheap/gimmicky, and not really the
fundamental thing to address. In my testing of a similar idea (see
commits 67c2404922c2 ("net: dsa: felix: create a template for the DSA
tags on xmit") and then 7c4bb540e917 ("net: dsa: tag_ocelot: create
separate tagger for Seville"), the net difference is not that stark,
considering that now you need to access one more memory region which you
did not need before, do a memcpy, and then patch the IFH anyway for the
non-constant stuff.

Certainly, for the calls to ocelot_port_inject_frame() from DSA, I would
prefer not having this pre-computed IFH.

Could you provide some before/after performance numbers and perf counters?
