> Add second page_pool for header buffers to each Rx queue and ability to toggle
> the header split on/off using Ethtool (default to off to match the current
> behaviour).
> Unlike idpf, all HW backed up by ice doesn't require any W/As and correctly
> splits all types of packets as configured: after L4 headers for TCP/UDP/SCTP, after
> L3 headers for other IPv4/IPv6 frames, after the Ethernet header otherwise (in
> case of tunneling, same as above, but after innermost headers).
> This doesn't affect the XSk path as there are no benefits of having it there.

> Applies on top of Tony's next-queue, depends on Michał's Page Pool conversion

> Sending for review and validation purposes.

> Testing hints: traffic testing with and without header split enabled.
> The header split can be turned on/off using Ethtool:
>
> sudo ethtool -G <iface> tcp-data-split on (or off)
