Nexoniarz a1c965da1e include: one folder per subsystem, and includes that name it
Sixty-five headers sat side by side in include/, so `#include "irq.h"`
said nothing about where irq.h was or what it belonged to, and errno.h,
stat.h and fcntl.h at the top shadowed the system's for any host tool
built with -I./include. They are in folders now -- arch/ core/ fs/
dev/ gfx/ net/ uapi/ (and ldls/ for the Linux driver layer) -- and
every include names the folder, as Linux's do: "core/proc.h".

Done mechanically and checked the hard way: the kernel built from this
tree disassembles identically to the one built from the tree before
it. The full image boots, and userland is the same set of programs.
Paths in docs and comments follow; docs/guides/layout.md has a table
of what is where, and tools/fix-includes.py rewrites old-style
includes from the folders in the tree, for code written before this.

// An `sk_buff` is the unit a Linux driver receives into and transmits from, so
// a host that cannot make one cannot carry a packet. It is also the structure
// with the most fields a driver touches directly, which is why every offset
// here comes from BTF rather than from anything written down.
//
// The layout is worth one note because it is not what the names suggest:
// `head` and `data` are pointers, but `tail` and `end` are **32-bit offsets
// from head**, not pointers. Treating them as pointers produces something that
// works for small packets on a lucky allocation and then does not.

// Room past `end` for `struct skb_shared_info`.

// `skb_shinfo(skb)` is `(struct skb_shared_info *)(skb->head + skb->end)` --
// it is not a field, it lives immediately after the data, and every allocator
// in Linux reserves space for it. 8139too never looked, so an skb that ended
// exactly at `end` worked; e1000 reads `nr_frags` on every single transmit,
// and read it from whatever followed the allocation.
//
// The struct is 320 bytes on x86-64 and this is deliberately more. It is not
// read from BTF only because getting it wrong in the small direction is
// silent, and a fixed size that is comfortably too large cannot be.
