On some ARM64 platforms with 4K PAGE_SIZE, page_pool fragment allocation in the RX refill path can cause 15-20% throughput regression under high connection counts (>16 TCP streams). Add an ethtool private flag "full-page-rx" that allows the user to force one RX buffer per page, bypassing the page_pool fragment path. This restores line-rate (180+ Gbps) performance on affected platforms. Usage: ethtool --set-priv-flags eth0 full-page-rx on There is no behavioral change by default. The flag must be explicitly enabled by the user or udev rule. The existing single-buffer-per-page logic for XDP and jumbo frames is consolidated into a new helper mana_use_single_rxbuf_per_page() which is now the single decision point for both the automatic and user-controlled paths.
