This one tackles the TX path of the driver. This provides the bulk of the performance improvements by adding support for fragmented sends along with a bunch of cleanups. Version 2 fixes a patch splitting mistake and uses eth_skb_pad() (which uses skb_put_padto) to pad ethernet frames rather than skb_padto(), thus removing the need to also pad the packet headlen in a couple of places. Subsequent batches will add various features (ethtool functions, vlan offlan, ...) and cleanups.
