I'm probably missing something. What is wrong with a scatterlist of
length 1?
2. The user of this API does not have access to the sk_buf. This causes
issues for ibmveth since it needs to reserve the first 8 bytes of the
rx buffer for use by the firmware. It currently uses skb_reserve to do this.
Would it be simpler to just pass an sk_buf rather than the scatterlist
on these interfaces for virtio_net users?
It probably should pass the sk_buff.
But virtio is a generic layer that is useful for more than just networking.
