Move modprobe.d/no-copybreak to vyatta-cfg-system package
It is really part of interfaces not vyatta-cfg

-# Some network interface drivers employ a scheme known as "copybreak"
-# in which they make a copy of a received skb if the size of the
-# buffer is below a particular threshold, then return the original
-# receive skb back to the pool. Since these drivers initially
-# allocate a buffer size that is larger than the largest possible
-# packet, this scheme returns that large buffer to the pool quickly,
-# and uses a smaller one.
-#
-# The primary benefit of copybreak is better memory utilization. On
-# systems where the data is ultimately going to be copied out to user
-# space, the copybreak scheme is "low cost" because it has the side
-# benefit of priming the cache for that later copy. But on a router
-# that only touches the header fields of a received packet, the cost
-# can be relatively higher. And on modern systems the memory savings
-# is rarely an important consideration.
-#
-# Some of the drivers that employ copybreak make the feature
-# configurable via a module parameter. This file disables copybreak
-# in some of those drivers. Generally this results in an improvement
-# in forwarding performance for traffic using these drivers.
