Some virtual devices like netkit (or ifb) never DMA and never touch frag contents, they just forward the skb to another device. They are unable to forward unreadable skbs, however, because they fail to pass TX validation checks on dev->netmem_tx. The existing two-state NETMEM_TX_NONE / NETMEM_TX_DMA doesn't give the TX validator enough information to differentiate devices that will attempt DMA on the unreadable skb from those that will simply route it untouched. Add a third mode to the enum so drivers can indicate 1) if they have netmem TX support, and 2) if they do, whether they are DMA-capable: NETMEM_TX_NO_DMA - pass-through, device never DMAs Widen dev->netmem_tx from a 1-bit field to 2 bits to fit the new value, and declare netkit as NETMEM_TX_NO_DMA. Devmem TX support over these devices comes in a follow-up patch.
