This is the stuff in 2.4 which DaveM has been over so I hope is ok for 2.5.
It provides a simple API for driver writers with hardware that doesn't
do packet padding to say 'make sure n bytes beyond the data is all clear'
for DMA etc.

Still needs some other updates for 2.5 but this squashes the security
stuff as per 2.4
