From below code snippets, it looks like you only allocated 1 page_pool
and sharing it with several RX-queues, as I don't have the full context
and don't know this driver, I might be wrong?

To be clear, a page_pool object is needed per RX-queue, as it is
accessing a small RX page cache (which protected by NAPI/softirq).  
There is one RX interrupt and one RX NAPI for all rx channels.
So, what are you saying?

You _are_ sharing the page_pool between several RX-channels, but it is
safe because this hardware only have one RX interrupt + NAPI instance??
