Even out Rx performance across MTU sizes by changing from full skb allocations to page-based frag allocations. The device supports a form of scatter-gather in the Rx path, so we can set up a number of pages for each descriptor, all of which are easier to alloc and pass around than the standard kzalloc'd buffer. An skb is wrapped around the pages while processing the received packets, and pages are recycled as needed, or left alone if they weren't used in the Rx.

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.
