Description

RX path of netkvm driver allocates significant amount of the memory,  in case of multiple hardware queues the memory consumption grows even more. This leads to long time of driver initialization, in case of several devices this leads to a situation when some of devices are not functional for long time. Exact numbers of init time for single/multiple devices might be a factor that may help to evaluate the improvement after specific changes.

There are several possibilities to  reduce the amount of the memory and initialization time, they will be addressed in specific issues under this epic.
