Hello Michael,

I agree with the comments (will have two patches instead of 4 based on
Rusty's comments) except below one.

The reason to use this is because in virtio_net remove, it has
BUG_ON(vi->num != 0), which will be consistent with small skb packet. If
we use NULL, error then we lose the track for vi->num, since we don't
know how many buffers have been passed to ULPs or still unused.

Thanks
