Re: [PATCH v3 net-next 00/14] mlx4: order-0 allocations and page recycling

As mentioned half a year ago, we better switch mlx4 driver to order-0
allocations and page recycling.

This reduces vulnerability surface thanks to better skb->truesize
tracking and provides better performance in most cases.

v2 provides an ethtool -S new counter (rx_alloc_pages) and
code factorization, plus Tariq fix.

v3 includes various fixes based on Tariq tests and feedback
from Saeed and Tariq.

Worth noting this patch series deletes ~250 lines of code ;)

I think this should get queued up for net-next soon, but I marked the
series as "deferred" in patchwork while the discussion continues.
