From: Dmitry Fleytman <dmitry.fleytman@ravellosystems.com>

This patch extends the TX/RX packet abstractions with features that will
be used by the e1000e device implementation.

Changes are:

  1. Support iovec lists for RX buffers
  2. Deeper RX packets parsing
  3. Loopback option for TX packets
  4. Extended VLAN headers handling
  5. RSS processing for RX packets
