ixgbe: Add support for maximum headroom when using build_skb
This patch increases the headroom allocated when using build_skb on a
system with 4K pages. Specifically the breakdown of headroom versus cache
size is as follows:
L1 Cache Size Headroom
64 192
64, NET_IP_ALIGN == 2 194
128 128
128, NET_IP_ALIGN == 2 130
256 512
256, NET_IP_ALIGN == 2 258
I stopped at supporting only a cache line size of 256 as that was the
largest cache size I could find supported in the kernel.
With this we are guaranteeing at least 128 bytes of headroom to spare in
the frame. This should be enough for us to insert a couple of IPv6 headers
if needed which is likely enough room for anything XDP should need.
I'm leaving the padding for systems with pages larger than 4K unmodified
for now. XDP currently isn't really setup to work on those types of
systems so we can cross that bridge when we get there.
