Minor refactoring of bnxt_rx_skb() so that it can easily be replaced by a new function that handles packets in a single page. Also, use a function pointer bp->rx_skb_func() to switch to a new function when we add the new mode in the next patch. Add a new field data_ptr that points to the packet data in the bnxt_sw_rx_bd structure. The original data field is changed to void pointer so that it can either hold the kmalloc'ed data or a page pointer. The last parameter of bnxt_rx_skb() which was the length parameter is changed to include the payload offset of the packet in the upper 16 bit. The offset is needed to support the rx page mode and is not used in this existing function. v3: Added a new data_ptr parameter to bp->rx_skb_func(). The caller has the option to modify the starting address of the packet. This will be needed when XDP with headroom support is added. v2: Changed the name of the last parameter to offset_and_len to make the code more clear.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
