FWIW I'm tempted to do something like the patch below (an obvious move,
I suspect). I want to add another pointer (netdev) to the params and=20
I don't want it to eat up bytes in the first cache line.
The patch is incomplete, we need to stash a one-bit indication in=20
the first cache line to know init_callback is not present without
having to look at @slow. I'll defer doing that cleanly until your
patches land.
With this in place we can move flags outside of @fast, and interpret
it manually while copying all the other members in one go.

Subject: [PATCH] net: page_pool: split the page_pool_params into fast and s=
low

struct page_pool is rather performance critical and we use
16B of the first cache line to store 2 pointers used only
by test code. Future patches will add more informational
(non-fast path) attributes.

It's convenient for the user of the API to not have to worry
which fields are fast and which are slow path. Use struct
groups to split the params into the two categories internally.
