To simplify struct page, the page pool members of struct page should be

Introduce a network memory descriptor to store the members, struct
netmem_desc, and make it union'ed with the existing fields in struct
net_iov, allowing to organize the fields of struct net_iov.
It would be great adding some result from the previous discussions in
here, such as that the layout of "struct net_iov" can be changed because
it is not a "struct page" overlay, what the next steps based on this
patch are etc.
