Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/5] net: skbuff: hide some bitfield members

There is a number of protocol or subsystem specific fields
in struct sk_buff which are only accessed by one subsystem.
We can wrap them in ifdefs with minimal code impact.

This gives us a better chance to save a 2B and a 4B holes
resulting with the following savings (assuming a lucky
kernel config):

-	/* size: 232, cachelines: 4, members: 28 */
-	/* sum members: 227, holes: 1, sum holes: 4 */
-	/* sum bitfield members: 8 bits (1 bytes) */
+	/* size: 224, cachelines: 4, members: 28 */
 	/* forced alignments: 2 */
-	/* last cacheline: 40 bytes */
+	/* last cacheline: 32 bytes */

I think that the changes shouldn't be too controversial.
The only one I'm not 100% sure of is the SCTP one,
12 extra LoC for one bit.. But it did fit squarely
in the "this bit has only one user" category.

  net: skbuff: hide wifi_acked when CONFIG_WIRELESS not set
  net: skbuff: hide csum_not_inet when CONFIG_IP_SCTP not set
  net: skbuff: move alloc_cpu into a potential hole
  net: skbuff: push nf_trace down the bitfield
  net: skbuff: hide nf_trace and ipvs_property
