The reason for page_pool fast path being critical is that it is used for 
the XDP_DROP use-case.
E.g on Mellanox mlx5 driver we see 24 Mpps XDP_DROP, which is approx 42 
nanosec per packet. Adding 9 nanosec will reduce this to 19.6 Mpps.

   1/(42+9)*10^9 = 19607843

p.s. Upstreaming my PP microbenchmark[1] is still at the bottom of my 
todo-list.
