struct page_pool is rather performance critical and we use 16B of the first cache line to store 2 pointers used only by test code. Future patches will add more informational (non-fast path) attributes. It's convenient for the user of the API to not have to worry which fields are fast and which are slow path. Use struct groups to split the params into the two categories internally.
LGTM and valuable, since we've been struggling to explain where new variables should be placed, in order to affect the cache line placement as little as possible. Acked-by: Ilias Apalodimas <ilias.apalodimas@linaro.org>
