If the packet data of all the fraglist GRO skbs are backed by a
page fragment then we could just do the same by iterating with
skb_walk_frags(). I'm not a driver expert and might be misstaken,
but it looks like that could be done with existing hardware that
supports segmentation offload.
Having to add frag list as well as page frag iterating in a driver is
quite a bit of logic, and added complexity.

If the frag list SKBs are indeed backed by a page, you could just as
easily coalesce everything into the page frag array of the first SKB.
