Yes without checksum net core always linearizes packets, so yes it is
screwed.
For -net, skb always allocates space for 17 frags + linear part so
it seems sane to do same in virtio core, and allocate, for -net,
up to max_frags + 1 from cache.
We can adjust it: no _SG -> 2 otherwise 18.
Not sure about other drivers, maybe really use 2 there for now.
