    1. Provides infrastructure for vector IO using recvmmsg/sendmmsg.
        1.1. Multi-message read.
        1.2. Multi-message write.
        1.3. Optimized queue support for multi-packet enqueue/dequeue.
        1.4. BQL/DQL support.

    for direct wiring of PWEs to NIC. Allows direct connection of VMs
    to host, other VMs and network devices with no switch in use.
        2.1. Raw socket >4 times higher PPS and 10 times higher tcp RX
        than existing pcap based transport (> 4Gbit)
        2.2. New tap transport using socket RX and tap xmit. Similar
        performance improvements (>4Gbit)
        2.3. GRE transport - direct wiring to GRE PWE
        2.4. L2TPv3 transport - direct wiring to L2TPv3 PWE
    3. Tuning, performance and offload related setting support via ethtool.
    4. Initial BPF support - used in tap/raw to avoid software looping
    5. Scatter Gather support.
    6. VNET and checksum offload support for raw socket transport.
    7. TSO/GSO support where applicable or available
    8. Migrates all error messages to netdevice_*() and rate limits
    them where needed.
