I guess the compiler will optimize, but what about store the metadata 
pointer in a variable?

Please don't use `len` in vhost_add_used(). We should pass the number of 
bytes written by the device. Take a look at 
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=49d8c5ffad07ca014cfae72a1b9b8c52b6ad9cb8

Maybe we should document better vhost_add_used() to avoid future issue.

Since we moved this in an header, I guess is better to add a prefix

This will change also other transports, like VMCI that uses sk_buff for 
datagram. We should check that it is okay for them.

For these first fields perhaps we can use a memcmp.

Can we use a pointer to store the header pointers?

This extra copy (and maybe also the call to can_merge) could be 
responsible for the perf drop. I understand why we have it, though, you 
could give it a try by avoiding merging and see what happens to 
performance.

Maybe we can split this patch and move change in a separate patch of the 
same series, and in the cover report the performance result 
incrementally with only the first patch applied and with first and 
second.

Not for this patch, but if we implement this change, it would be nice to 
have APIs that all transports can re-use. (Like we do in vsock_loopback 
which has nothing to do with virtio, but we had reused virtio_vsock_pkt 
for convenience)

Good job so far!

Thanks,
Stefano
