    net: Audit drivers to identify those needing IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING cleared · 550fd08c

    After the last patch, We are left in a state in which only drivers calling
    ether_setup have IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING set (we assume that drivers touching real
    hardware call ether_setup for their net_devices and don't hold any state in
    their skbs.  There are a handful of drivers that violate this assumption of
    course, and need to be fixed up.  This patch identifies those drivers, and marks
    them as not being able to support the safe transmission of skbs by clearning the
    IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING flag in priv_flags
