SATA_SIL on IXP425 workaround

[PATCH v5] tcp: harmonize tcp_vx_rcv header length assumptions
Harmonize tcp_v4_rcv() and tcp_v6_rcv() -- better document tcp doff and header length assumptions, and carefully compare implementations. Reduces multiply/shifts, marginally improving speed. Removes redundant tcp header length checks before checksumming. Instead, assumes (and documents) that any backlog proce... 14 Jan 2010 11:17
