Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/2] Defer skb allocation in virtio_net recv

This patch-set has deferred virtio_net skb allocation in receiving path
for both big packets and mergeable buffers. It reduces skb
pre-allocations and skb frees. This patch-set also add a new API
detach_unused_bufs in virtio. Recv skb queue has been removed in
virtio_net. It is based on previous Rusty and Michaels' review, patch
has split into two:

[PATCH 1/2] virtio: Add detach unused buffer from vring
[PATCH 2/2] virtio_net: Defer skb allocation in receive path

I copied Rusty's comment as [PATCH 1/2] commit message.

This patch is built against Dave's net-next tree.

Thanks
Shirley
