Original commit message not explaining WHY and FOR WHAT this patch added in
openwrt tree.

When adding new kernel and rebase patches - you and other developers COPY
patches across new directory and losing history - why this patch landed

Try understand why 650-pppoe_header_pad.patch here? 
Or 680-NET-skip-GRO-for-foreign-MAC-addresses.patch ?
