Depending on the driver, the packets may be received into skbs which are
then attached to frag_list, or into page buffers which go in the frags
array.  If most packets can be merged by LRO, deferring skb allocation
and using the frags array is a performance win.

But for each packet it's either going to be frag_list or page
frags, right? So we could still fragment based on frag_list if
it's present.

Please can you post an implementation of this.  I don't want this bug to
be left unfixed.
