Oh, bummer. I just realized when allocating w/ __GFP_ZERO from the
page-pool, the logic doesn't actually clear pages when pulling from
the cache.
So unfortunately this is what accounts for much of the performance
benefit I was seeing with this approach, so I'll have to retract my
claim on the performance gain with this. :(

I've got a first pass at zeroing the pages we put into the pool, but
the numbers are not so great just yet so I've got some further work to
do.

thanks
