Impressive results :

before : 720.000 pps
after :  820.000 pps

[ One mono threaded application receiving UDP messages on a single
socket, asking IP_PKTINFO ancillary info ]

Latencies are also a bit improved : softirq handler dirties about 320
bytes less per skb.

Definitely worth the pain.

I am sending two patches. Other drivers probably can benefit from
build_skb() as well.

[PATCH net-next 1/2] net: introduce build_skb()
[PATCH net-next 2/2] bnx2x: uses build_skb() in receive path
