I think that this is not so simple, if I understand correctly, by disabling NETIF_F_SG we will never receive a chained skbs to transmit, but we still have more functionality to address, for example:
* The TX timeouts.
* Guest GSO/big MTU (without VIRTIO_NET_F_MRG_RXBUF?), we can't chain page size buffers anymore.

It won't matter at the moment, we'll get TX timeout after the first tx packet, we need to address this part as well.
