This patch makes the private functions alloc_can_skb() and
alloc_can_err_skb() of the at91_can driver public and adapts all
drivers to use these. While making the patch I realized, that
the skb's are *not* setup consistently. It's now done as shown
below:
skb->protocol = htons(ETH_P_CAN);
skb->pkt_type = PACKET_BROADCAST;
skb->ip_summed = CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY;
*cf = (struct can_frame *)skb_put(skb, sizeof(struct can_frame));
memset(*cf, 0, sizeof(struct can_frame));
The frame is zeroed out to avoid uninitialized data to be passed to
user space. Some drivers or library code did not set "pkt_type" or
"ip_summed". Also, "__constant_htons()" should not be used for
runtime invocations, as pointed out by David Miller.

This patch allows the CAN controller driver to define the number of echo
skb's used for the local loopback (echo), as suggested by Kurt Van
Dijck, with the function:
struct net_device *alloc_candev(int sizeof_priv,
unsigned int echo_skb_max);
The CAN drivers have been adapted accordingly. For the ems_usb driver,
as suggested by Sebastian Haas, the number of echo skb's has been
increased to 10, which improves the transmission performance a lot.

This patch adds the function can_free_echo_skb to the CAN
device interface to allow upcoming drivers to release echo
skb's in case of error.

The CAN network device driver interface provides a generic interface to
setup, configure and monitor CAN network devices. It exports a set of
common data structures and functions, which all real CAN network device
drivers should use. Please have a look to the SJA1000 or MSCAN driver
to understand how to use them. The name of the module is can-dev.ko.
Furthermore, it adds a Netlink interface allowing to configure the CAN
device using the program "ip" from the iproute2 utility suite.
For further information please check "Documentation/networking/can.txt"
