Fragmentation at message sending is currently performed in two places in link.c, depending on whether data to be transmitted is delivered in the form of an iovec or as a big sk_buff. Those functions are also tightly entangled with the send functions that are using them. We now introduce a re-entrant, standalone function, tipc_msg_build2(), that builds a packet chain directly from an iovec. Each fragment is sized according to the MTU value given by the caller, and is prepended with a correctly built fragment header, when needed. The function is independent from who is calling and where the chain will be delivered, as long as the caller is able to indicate a correct MTU. The function is tested, but not called by anybody yet. Since it is incompatible with the existing tipc_msg_build(), and we cannot yet remove that function, we have given it a temporary name.
