Hmmm, Jarek's comments here made me realize that we might be
able to do some hack with cooperation with SLAB.
Basically the idea is that if the page count of a SLAB page
is greater than one, SLAB will not use that page for new
allocations.
It's cheesy and the SLAB developers will likely barf at the
idea, but it would certainly work.
Back to real life, I think long term the thing to do is to just do the
cached page allocator thing we'll be doing after Jarek's socket page
patch is integrated, and for best performance the driver has to
receive it's data into pages, only explicitly pulling the ethernet
header into the linear area, like NIU does.
