This change implements MCTP fragmentation (based on route & device MTU), and corresponding reassembly. The MCTP specification only allows for fragmentation on the originating message endpoint, and reassembly on the destination endpoint - intermediate nodes do not need to reassemble/refragment. Consequently, we only fragment in the local transmit path, and reassemble locally-bound packets. Messages are required to be in-order, so we simply cancel reassembly on out-of-order or missing packets. In the fragmentation path, we just break up the message into MTU-sized fragments; the skb structure is a simple copy for now, which we can later improve with a shared data implementation. For reassembly, we keep track of incoming message fragments using the existing tag infrastructure, allocating a key on the (src,dest,tag) tuple, and reassembles matching fragments into a skb->frag_list.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
