This hunts down several places around packet templates/dummies for
switch rules which are either repetitive, fragile or just not
really readable code.
It's a common need to add new packet templates and to review such
changes as well, try to simplify both with the help of a pair
macros and aliases.
ice_find_dummy_packet() became very complex at this point with tons
of nested if-elses. It clearly showed this approach does not scale,
so convert its logics to the simple mask-match + static const array.

The driver for ATM Ambassador devices spews build warnings on

The right thing to do would be to migrate this driver to a modern
DMA API but it seems unlikely anyone is actually using it.
There had been no fixes or functional changes here since
the git era begun.
In fact it sounds like the FW loading was broken from 2008
'til 2012 - see commit fcdc90b025 ("atm: forever loop loading

Let's remove this driver, there isn't much changing in the APIs,

Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Original TLS implementation was handling one record at a time.
It stashed the type of the record inside tls context (per socket
structure) for convenience. When async crypto support was added
[1] the author had to use skb->cb to store the type per-message.
The use of skb->cb overlaps with strparser, however, so a hybrid
approach was taken where type is stored in context while parsing
(since we parse a message at a time) but once parsed its copied
to skb->cb.
Recently a workaround for sockmaps [2] exposed the previously
private struct _strp_msg and started a trend of adding user
fields directly in strparser's header. This is cleaner than
storing information about an skb in the context.
This change is not strictly necessary, but IMHO the ownership
of the context field is confusing. Information naturally
belongs to the skb.

whether DMA mapping ops involve any IOMMU overhead or not, so check for
translation actually being active for our device.

There's a number of functions and static variables used
under net/core/ but not from the outside. We currently
dump most of them into netdevice.h. That bad for many
reasons:
- netdevice.h is very cluttered, hard to figure out
what the APIs are;
- netdevice.h is very long;
- we have to touch netdevice.h more which causes expensive
incremental builds.
Create a header under net/core/ and move some declarations.
The new header is also a bit of a catch-all but that's
fine, if we create more specific headers people will
likely over-think where their declaration fit best.
And end up putting them in netdevice.h, again.
More work should be done on splitting netdevice.h into more
targeted headers, but that'd be more time consuming so small
steps.
