34d2cde8a8 net/l2/l3/l4: add support of iob offload 
1. Add new config CONFIG_NET_LL_GUARDSIZE to isolation of l2 stack,
   which will benefit l3(IP) layer for multi-MAC(l2) implementation,
   especially in some NICs such as celluler net driver.

new configuration options: CONFIG_NET_LL_GUARDSIZE

CONFIG_NET_LL_GUARDSIZE will reserved l2 buffer header size of
network buffer to isolate the L2/L3 (MAC/IP) data on network layer,
which will be beneficial to L3 network layer protocol transparent
transmission and forwarding

------------------------------------------------------------

        iob_data (aligned by CONFIG_IOB_ALIGNMENT)
            |
            |                  io_offset(CONFIG_NET_LL_GUARDSIZE)
            |                                |

2. Support iob offload to l2 driver to avoid unnecessary memory copy

Support send/receive iob vectors directly between the NICs and l3/l4
stack to avoid unnecessary memory copies, especially on hardware that
supports Scatter/gather, which can greatly improve performance.

new interface to support iob offload:

  ------------------------------------------
  |    IOB version     |     original      |
  |----------------------------------------|
  |  devif_iob_poll()  |   devif_poll()    |
  |       ...          |       ...         |
  ------------------------------------------

22cd0d47fa This commit attempts remove some long standard confusion in naming and some actual problems that result from the naming confusion. The basic problem is the standard MTU does not include the size of the Ethernet header. For clarity, I changed the naming of most things called MTU to PKTSIZE. For example, CONFIG_NET_ETH_MTU is now CONFIG_NET_ETH_PKTSIZE. 
This makes the user interface a little hostile.  People thing of an MTU of 1500 bytes, but the corresponding packet is really 1514 bytes (including the 14 byte Ethernet header).  A more friendly solution would configure the MTU (as before), but then derive the packet buffer size by adding the MAC header length.  Instead, we define the packet buffer size then derive the MTU.

The MTU is not common currency in networking.  On the wire, the only real issue is the MSS which is derived from MTU by subtracting the IP header and TCP header sizes (for the case of TCP).  Now it is derived for the PKTSIZE by subtracting the IP header, the TCP header, and the MAC header sizes.  So we should be all good and without the recurring 14 byte error in MTU's and MSS's.

Squashed commit of the following:

    Trivial update to fix some spacing issues.
    net/: Rename several macros containing _MTU to _PKTSIZE.
    net/: Rename CONFIG_NET_SLIP_MTU to CONFIG_NET_SLIP_PKTSIZE and similarly for CONFIG_NET_TUN_MTU.  These are not the MTU which does not include the size of the link layer header.  These are the full size of the packet buffer memory (minus any GUARD bytes).
    net/: Rename CONFIG_NET_6LOWPAN_MTU to CONFIG_NET_6LOWPAN_PKTSIZE and similarly for CONFIG_NET_TUN_MTU.  These are not the MTU which does not include the size of the link layer header.  These are the full size of the packet buffer memory (minus any GUARD bytes).
    net/: Rename CONFIG_NET_ETH_MTU to CONFIG_NET_ETH_PKTSIZE.  This is not the MTU which does not include the size of the link layer header.  This is the full size of the packet buffer memory (minus any GUARD bytes).
    net/: Rename the file d_mtu in the network driver structure to d_pktsize.  That value saved there is not the MTU.  The packetsize is the memory large enough to hold the maximum packet PLUS the size of the link layer header.  The MTU does not include the link layer header.
