Commit 2613af0ed18a11d5c566a81f9a6510b73180660a (virtio_net: migrate mergeable
rx buffers to page frag allocators) try to increase the payload/truesize for
MTU-sized traffic. But this will introduce the extra overhead for GSO packets
received because of the frag list. This commit tries to reduce this issue by
coalesce the possible rx frags when possible during rx. Test result shows the
about 15% improvement on full size GSO packet receiving (and even better than
commit 2613af0ed18a11d5c566a81f9a6510b73180660a).

Excellent !

We now have 2 or 3 frags per skb, like tcp stack manages to do on output
path.

Michael Dalton is also working on a autotuning patch, using an EWMA, so
that the size of individual sg blocks can vary from 1500 to 4096, this
might show even better throughput, we'll see.
