some style comments. addressing them will make it
easier to review actual content.

should be !npage->private
and nesting is too deep here:
this is cleaner in a give_a_page subroutine
as it was.

so in short, we are constantly walking a linked

packets? or pages?

the comment is not really helpful:
you say you use private to chain but 0 does not
chain anything. You also do not need the cast to long?

please think of a way to get rid of magic constants like 6 and 2

replace MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 2 with something symbolic? We have it in 2 palces now.

terrible goto based loop
move stuff into subfunction, it will be much
more manageable, and convert this to a simple
for loop.

and here it is MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1

this is pretty hairy ... has to be this way?
What you are trying to do here
is fill buffer with pages, in a loop, with first one
using a partial page, and then add it.
Is that it?
So please code this in a straight forward manner.
it should be as simple as:

	offset = XXX
	for (i = 0; i < MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 2; ++i) {
		
		sg_set_buf(sg + i, p + offset, PAGE_SIZE - offset);
		offset = 0;

	}

	err = vi->rvq->vq_ops->add_buf(vi->rvq, sg, 0, MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 2, first_page);

space around +
sg + 1 here is same as &sg[i] in fact?

virtio ring bits really must be a separate patch.
