patches/skbufhead-raw-lock.patch

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

Subject: net: Use skbufhead with raw lock

Use the rps lock as rawlock so we can keep irq-off regions. It looks low
latency. However we can't kfree() from this context therefore we defer this
to the softirq and use the tofree_queue list for it (similar to process_queue).
