Subject: [PATCH] [10/12] pasemi_mac: Remove SKB copy/recycle logic
Date: Wed, 28 Nov 2007 20:57:56 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071129025756.GK17215@lixom.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20071129025410.GA17215@lixom.net>

pasemi_mac: Remove SKB copy/recycle logic

It doesn't really buy us much, since copying is about as expensive
as the allocation in the first place. Just remove it for now.
