similar to: [PATCH 3/8] xen: netfront: convert to SKB paged frag API.

This patch introduce a new function that releases the xdp shinfo. The subsequent patch will reuse this function.

The following series makes use of the skb fragment API (which is in 3.2 +) to add a per-paged-fragment destructor callback. This can be used by creators of skbs who are interested in the lifecycle of the pages included in that skb after they have handed it off to the network stack. The mail at [0] contains some more background and rationale but basically the completed series will allow entities

The virtio_net driver's mergeable receive buffer allocator uses 4KB packet buffers. For MTU-sized traffic, SKB truesize is > 4KB but only ~1500 bytes of the buffer is used to store packet data, reducing the effective TCP window size substantially. This patch addresses the performance concerns with mergeable receive buffers by allocating MTU-sized packet buffers using page frag allocators.

This patch adds a new feature called feature-split-event-channels for netfront, enabling it to handle TX and RX events separately. If netback does not support this feature, it falls back to use single event channel.

We already have the frame (pfn of the grant page) stored inside struct grant, so there's no need to keep an aditional list of mapped frames for a specific request. This reduces memory usage in blkfront.
