[patch net-next-2.6 6/6] net: introduce rx_handler results and logic around that

[Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com>]

This patch allows rx_handlers to better signalize what to do next to
it's caller. That makes skb->deliver_no_wcard no longer needed.

kernel-doc for rx_handler_result is taken from Nicolas' patch.
