    We spend lot of time clearing pages in pktgen.
    (Or not clearing them on ipv6 and leaking kernel memory)
    
    Since we dont modify them, we can use one zeroed page, and get
    references on it. This page can use NUMA affinity as well.
    
    Define pktgen_finalize_skb() helper, used both in ipv4 and ipv6
    
    Results using skbs with one frag :
