Implement support for generating pkts with variable length. Before this patch, they were all 64 bytes, exception for some packets of zero length and some that were too large. This feature will be used to test multi-buffer support for which large packets are needed. The packets are also made simpler, just a valid Ethernet header followed by a sequence number. This so that it will become easier to implement packet generation when each packet consists of multiple fragments. There is also a maintenance burden associated with carrying all this code for generating proper UDP/IP packets, especially since they are not needed.

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.
