Introduce one cache line worth of padding between the producer and consumer pointers in all the lockless rings. This so that the HW adjacency prefetcher will not prefetch the consumer pointer when the producer pointer is used and vice versa. This improves throughput performance for the l2fwd sample app with 2% on my machine with HW prefetching turned on.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
