net: reorder some fields of net_device
As time passed, some fields were added in net_device, and not
at sensible offsets.
Lets reorder some fields to reduce number of cache lines in RX path.
Fields not used in data path should be moved out of this critical cache
line.
In particular, move broadcast[] to the end of the rx section,
as it is less used, and ethernet uses only the beginning of the 32bytes
field.
Before patch :
offsetof(struct net_device,dev_addr)=0x258
offsetof(struct net_device,rx_handler)=0x2b8
offsetof(struct net_device,ingress_queue)=0x2c8
offsetof(struct net_device,broadcast)=0x278
After :
offsetof(struct net_device,dev_addr)=0x280
offsetof(struct net_device,rx_handler)=0x298
offsetof(struct net_device,ingress_queue)=0x2a8
offsetof(struct net_device,broadcast)=0x2b0
