I'd move the + 1 in the caller.

I'd call it `pkt_len`, `max_to_send` is confusing IMHO. I didn't
initially if it was the number of buffers or bytes.

So if `can_msgzerocopy` is not implemented, we always return true after
this point. Should we mention it in the .can_msgzerocopy documentation?

Can we also mention in the commit description why this is need only for
virtio_tranport and not for vhost and loopback?

I'd move `len` after `info` like in virtio_transport_alloc_skb().
And maybe we can use the same name on both (`len` or `payload_len`).

Sorry I didn't get it :-(

Can you elaborate this a bit more?
