:) I tested the same implementation, but I put skb pointer into
page->private. My approach is not correct, since the same page can hold

I've tested your patch on top of splice-net branch, here is a result:

I will try some things for the nearest 30-60 minutes, and then will move to
canoe trip until thuesday, so will not be able to work on this idea.
