Subject: [PATCH net-next v7 1/7] netmem: introduce struct netmem_desc mirroring struct page
To simplify struct page, the page pool members of struct page should be
moved to other, allowing these members to be removed from struct page.
Introduce a network memory descriptor to store the members, struct
netmem_desc, and make it union'ed with the existing fields in struct
net_iov, allowing to organize the fields of struct net_iov.
