e1000 is not a problem at all. It just has to use pages.
If it is going to use high order allocations, it will suck,

This does not matter. All the cases with pathologically extended
headers go slow path with non-trivial pskb_pull(). This is what all
those options are invented for.

Totally does not worth it, unless it is a part of something bigger.
