Oh, forgot to ask previously. Just curious, which platforms do
usually have this NIC? Do those platforms have
CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS set?
If no, then adding %NET_SKB_PAD to the headroom can significantly
improve performance, as currently you have 28 bytes of IFH + 14
bytes of Eth header, so IP header is not aligned to 4 bytes
boundary. Kernel and other drivers often expect IP header to be
aligned. Adding %NET_SKB_PAD to the headroom addresses that.
...but be careful, I've just realized that you have IFH in front
of Eth header, that means that it will also become unaligned after
that change, so make sure you don't access it with words bigger
than 2 bytes. Just test all the variants and pick the best :D

Thanks,
