> In order to take the best from per-cpu NAPI skbuff_head caches and CPU
> cycles, let's switch from dev_kfree_skb_any(), which passes skb back to the
> mm layer, to napi_consume_skb(), which feeds those caches on non-zero
> budget instead (falls back to the former on 0).
> Do the replacement in e1000_unmap_and_free_tx_resource(). There are
> 4 call sites of this function throughout the driver:
> * e1000_clean_tx_ring(). Slowpath, process context, cleans the
> whole Tx ring on ifdown. Use budget of 0 here;
> * e1000_tx_map(). Hotpath, net Tx softirq, unmaps the buffers in
> case of error. Use 0 as well;
> * e1000_clean_tx_irq(). Hotpath, NAPI Tx completion polling cycle.
> As the driver doesn't count completed Tx entries towards the NAPI
> budget, just use the poll budget of 64 to utilize caches.
>
> Apart from being a preparation for switching to napi_build_skb(), this is
> useful on its own as well, as napi_consume_skb() flushes skb caches by
> batches of 32 instead of one-at-a-time.
