Ok, I'll fix this comment!

Ok, so idea is that:

if (out_sg > vq->num_free)
    reorganise current skb for copy mode (e.g. 2 out_sg - header and data)
    and try to add it to vq again.

?

@Stefano, I'll remove net-next tag (guess RFC is not required again, but not net-next
anyway) as this change will require review. R-b I think should be also removed. All
other patches in this set still unchanged.

Thanks, Arseniy
