below is a patch that just removes dead code/initializers without any
effect (first access is an assignment) that I stumbled accross while
reading the source.

Rusty added a new 'stats' field to struct net_device.

loopback driver can use it instead of declaring another struct
net_device_stats This saves some memory.

When csum_offset was introduced we did a conversion from csum to
csum_offset where applicable.  A couple of drivers were missed in
this process.

It was harmless to begin with since the two fields coincided.  Now
that we've made them different with the addition of csum_start, the
missed drivers must be converted or they can't send packets out at
all that require checksum offload.

We have to put back the cast to "char *" because these

Network drivers which keep stats allocate their own stats structure
then write a get_stats() function to return them.  It would be nice if
this were done by default.

1) Add a new "stats" field to "struct net_device".
2) Add a new feature field to say "this driver uses the internal one"
3) Have a default "get_stats" which returns NULL if that feature not set.
4) Change callers to check result of get_stats call for NULL, not if
   ->get_stats is set.

This should not break backwards compatibility with older drivers, yet
allow modern drivers to shed some boilerplate code.

Lightly tested: works for a modified lguest network driver.

So that it is also an offset from skb->head, reduces its size from 8 to 4 bytes
on 64bit architectures, allowing us to combine the 4 bytes hole left by the
layer headers conversion, reducing struct sk_buff size to 256 bytes, i.e. 4
64byte cachelines, and since the sk_buff slab cache is SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN...
:-)

Many calculations that previously required that skb->{transport,network,
mac}_header be first converted to a pointer now can be done directly, being
meaningful as offsets or pointers.

For the common sequence "skb->h.raw - skb->nh.raw", similar to skb->mac_len,

This one touches just the most simple cases:

->mac_header_offset?), ditto for ->{h,nh}.

skb->nh.iph->ihl * 4
