Does the higher order pages effectively reduce the number of frags which
are in use? e.g if MAX_SKB_FRAGS is 16, then for order-0 pages you could
have 64K worth of frag data.

If we switch to order-3 pages everywhere then can the skb contain 512K
of data, or does the effective maximum number of frags in an skb reduce
to 2?
effective number of frags reduce to 2 or 3

(We still limit GSO packets to ~63536 bytes)
Great! Then I think the fix is more/less trivial...
The following seems to work for me.

I haven't tackled netfront yet.

Subject: [PATCH] xen: netback: handle compound page fragments on transmit.

An SKB paged fragment can consist of a compound page with order > 0.
However the netchannel protocol deals only in PAGE_SIZE frames.

Handle this in netbk_gop_frag_copy and xen_netbk_count_skb_slots by
iterating over the frames which make up the page.
