Add a couple intuitive helpers to hide Rx buffer implementation details
in the library and not multiplicate it between drivers. The settings are
sorta optimized for 100G+ NICs, but nothing really HW-specific here.
Use the new page_pool_dev_alloc() to dynamically switch between
split-page and full-page modes depending on MTU, page size, required
headroom etc. For example, on x86_64 with the default driver settings
each page is shared between 2 buffers. Turning on XDP (not in this
series) -> increasing headroom requirement pushes truesize out of 2048
boundary, leading to that each buffer starts getting a full page.
The "ceiling" limit is %PAGE_SIZE, as only order-0 pages are used to
avoid compound overhead. For the above architecture, this means maximum
linear frame size of 3712 w/o XDP.
Not that &libeth_buf_queue is not a complete queue/ring structure for
now, rather a shim, but eventually the libeth-enabled drivers will move
to it, with iavf being the first one.

Could you please unpack the meaning of `fq` and `fqe` acronyms here?

otherwise the whole series is very good for me, thank you very much!
