net: TX_RING and packet mmap

New packet socket feature that makes packet socket more efficient for
transmission.

- It reduces number of system call through a PACKET_TX_RING mechanism,
  based on PACKET_RX_RING (Circular buffer allocated in kernel space
  which is mmapped from user space).

- It minimizes CPU copy using fragmented SKB (almost zero copy).

+Binding the socket to your network interface is mandatory (with zero copy) to

+
+As capture, each frame contains two parts:

+ --------------------
+| struct tpacket_hdr | Header. It contains the status of

+
+ bind() associates the socket to your network interface thanks to
+ sll_ifindex parameter of struct sockaddr_ll.
+
+ Initialization example:
+
+ struct sockaddr_ll my_addr;
+ struct ifreq s_ifr;
+ ...
+
+ strncpy (s_ifr.ifr_name, "eth0", sizeof(s_ifr.ifr_name));
+
+ /* get interface index of eth0 */
+ ioctl(this->socket, SIOCGIFINDEX, &s_ifr);
+
+ /* fill sockaddr_ll struct to prepare binding */
+ my_addr.sll_family = AF_PACKET;
+ my_addr.sll_protocol = ETH_P_ALL;
+ my_addr.sll_ifindex =  s_ifr.ifr_ifindex;
