It is strange that fast-path "tasklet_page_pool01_fast_path" isn't
faster than above "no-softirq-page_pool01".
They are both 29.633 ns.

What hardware is this?

e.g. the cycle count of 2 cycles(tsc) seem strange.

On my testlab hardware Intel CPU E5-1650 v4 @3.60GHz
My fast-path numbers say 5.202 ns (18 cycles) for 
"tasklet_page_pool01_fast_path"


Raw data look like this

This 15.005 ns looks like a significant improvement over 29.633 ns

Looks like I should also try out this patchset on my testlab, as this
hardware seems significantly different than mine...
