net: Increase default NET_SKB_PAD to 32.
Several devices need to insert some "pre headers" in front of the main packet data when they transmit a packet. Currently we allocate only 16 bytes of pad room and this ends up not being enough for some types of hardware (NIU, usb-net, s390 qeth, etc.) So increase this to 32. Note that drivers still need to check in their transmit routine whether enough headroom exists, and if not use skb_realloc_headroom(). Tunneling, IPSEC, and other encapsulation methods can cause the padding area to be used up. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
