The first two patches remove local_irq_save() around `netdev_alloc_cache' which does not work on -RT. Besides helping -RT it whould benefit the users of the function since they can avoid disabling interrupts and save a few cycles. The remaining patches are from a time when I tried to remove `netdev_alloc_cache' but then noticed that we still have non-NAPI drivers using netdev_alloc_skb() and I dropped that idea. Using napi_alloc_frag() over netdev_alloc_frag() would skip the not required local_bh_disable() around the allocation.
