packet: support extensible, 64 bit clean mmaped ring structure
The tpacket_hdr is not 64 bit clean due to use of an unsigned long and can't be extended because the following struct sockaddr_ll needs to be at a fixed offset. Add support for a version 2 tpacket protocol that removes these limitations. Userspace can query the header size through a new getsockopt option and change the protocol version through a setsockopt option. The changes needed to switch to the new protocol version are: 1. replace struct tpacket_hdr by struct tpacket2_hdr 2. query header len and save 3. set protocol version to 2 - set up ring as usual 4. for getting the sockaddr_ll, use (void *)hdr + TPACKET_ALIGN(hdrlen) instead of (void *)hdr + TPACKET_ALIGN(sizeof(struct tpacket_hdr)) Steps 2 and 4 can be omitted if the struct sockaddr_ll isn't needed.
