Why do you need these extra forward declarations?

Why not use sk_buff_head?

Rather than abusing, NAPI with multiple receive queue's why not do it
by either:
	1) changing NAPI to have multiple receive contexts
	2) or use your own tasklet and processing.

Please don't wrap locks

This kind of wrapper makes sense.

Please don't add bogus OS independent wrappers. It makes it harder for later
maintenance.

Why not do this inline.

Another bogus wrapper.

That looks a bad idea.

What kind of offload?  You remember TOE was rejected.

Yet another high maintenance wrapper

Shouldn't 2 be NPORTS or somthing.
