Thanks for the patch! Yet something to improve:

I'd move this assignment to where p is declared:
void *p = page_address((struct page *)buf);

Indeed but let's please not do the initial
flags = ((struct virtio_net_common_hdr *)buf)->hdr.flags;
for the big mode at all, it's confusing, and only works because struct
page is bigger than struct virtio_net_common_hdr.
pls move it into the clauses for mergeable and small.
