Rusty Russell fb6813f480 virtio: Recycle unused recv buffer pages for large skbs in net driver
If we hack the virtio_net driver to always allocate full-sized (64k+)
skbuffs, the driver slows down (lguest numbers):

  Time to receive 1GB (small buffers): 10.85 seconds
  Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers): 24.75 seconds

Of course, large buffers use up more space in the ring, so we increase
that from 128 to 2048:

  Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers, 2k ring): 16.61 seconds

If we recycle pages rather than using alloc_page/free_page:

  Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers, 2k ring, recycle pages): 10.81 seconds

This demonstrates that with efficient allocation, we don't need to
have a separate "small buffer" queue.
