While testing KNI with netvsc, saw lots of places more code
could be safely removed from KNI kernel driver.
This is still mostly "putting lipstick on a pig" all users
would be better off using virtio_user rather than KNI.
v2 - get rid of unnecessary padding, combine the unused field patches
Stephen Hemminger (7):
kni: don't need stubs for rx_mode or ioctl
kni: use netdev_alloc_skb
kni: don't keep stats in kni_net
kni: drop unused fields
kni: use proper type for kni fifo's
kni: return -EFAULT if copy_from_user fails
doc: update KNI documentation
