> Changes in V2:
> * Updated userdata pointer in mbuf to always be 8 bytes big
> * Updated a number of commit messages to have more details about the
> performance benefits of the changes proposed in the patches
> * Removed old patch 5 which added the second vlan tag, and replaced it with
> a new, smaller patch which just moves the existing vlan_tci field above the
> 16-bit reserved space.
