Cleanup and rearrangement for better style and clarity:
	Split the function nf_bridge_maybe_copy_header into two pieces
	Move copy portion out of line.
	Use Ethernet header size macros.
	Use header file to handle CONFIG_NETFILTER_BRIDGE differences

The bridge-netfilter code will overwrite memory if there is not
headroom in the skb to save the header.  This first showed up when
using Xen with sky2 driver that doesn't allocate the extra space.

This patch adds the wrapper function skb_is_gso which can be used instead
of directly testing skb_shinfo(skb)-&gt;gso_size.  This makes things a little
nicer and allows us to change the primary key for indicating whether an skb
is GSO (if we ever want to do that).

<title>[NET]: Merge TSO/UFO fields in sk_buff</title>

<content type='text'>
Having separate fields in sk_buff for TSO/UFO (tso_size/ufo_size) is not
going to scale if we add any more segmentation methods (e.g., DCCP).  So
let's merge them.

They were used to tell the protocol of a packet.  This function has been
subsumed by the new gso_type field.  This is essentially a set of netdev
feature bits (shifted by 16 bits) that are required to process a specific
skb.  As such it's easy to tell whether a given device can process a GSO
skb: you just have to and the gso_type field and the netdev's features
field.

I've made gso_type a conjunction.  The idea is that you have a base type
(e.g., SKB_GSO_TCPV4) that can be modified further to support new features.
For example, if we add a hardware TSO type that supports ECN, they would
declare NETIF_F_TSO | NETIF_F_TSO_ECN.  All TSO packets with CWR set would
have a gso_type of SKB_GSO_TCPV4 | SKB_GSO_TCPV4_ECN while all other TSO
packets would be SKB_GSO_TCPV4.  This means that only the CWR packets need
to be emulated in software.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
